Growing main memory capacity has fueled the development of in-memory big data
management and processing. By eliminating disk I/O bottleneck, it is now possible to support …

Silo is a new in-memory database that achieves excellent performance and scalability on
modern multicore machines. Silo was designed from the ground up to use system memory …

Hybrid memory systems consisting of DRAM and Non-Volatile Memory are promising to
persist data fast. The index design of existing key-value stores for hybrid memory fails to …

We present Masstree, a fast key-value database designed for SMP machines. Masstree
keeps all data in memory. Its main data structure is a trie-like concatenation of B+-trees …

The emergence of new hardware and platforms has led to reconsideration of how data
management systems are designed. However, certain basic functions such as key indexed …

Modern cloud providers offer dense hardware with multiple cores and large memories,
hosted in global platforms. This raises the challenge of implementing high-performance …

Main memories are becoming sufficiently large that most OLTP databases can be stored
entirely in main memory, but this may not be the best solution. OLTP workloads typically …

viii Preface reason for this change is that sequential processors have ceased to get
proportional performance improvements from increased circuit complexity. Although the …

Memory latency and bandwidth are significant bottlenecks in designing in-memory indexes.
Processing-in-memory (PIM), an emerging hardware design approach, alleviates this …

Numerous recent research eorts have explored the use of Graphics Processing Units
(GPUs) as accelerators for software-based routing and packet handling applications …
