Resource disaggregation is a new architecture for data centers in which resources like
memory and storage are decoupled from the CPU, managed independently, and connected …

The traffic load sent to key-value (KV) stores varies over long timescales of hours to short
timescales of a few microseconds. Long-term variations present the opportunity to save …

Efficient transaction management is a delicate task. As systems face transactions of
inherently different types, ranging from point updates to long-running analytical queries, it is …

Recent research on multi-core database architectures has made the argument that, when
possible, database systems should abandon the use of latches in favor of latch-free …

We propose Solros---a new operating system architecture for heterogeneous systems that
comprises fast host processors, slow but massively parallel co-processors, and fast I/O …

Data analytics systems commonly utilize in-memory query processing techniques to achieve
better throughput and lower latency. Modern computers increasingly rely on Non-Uniform …

In this paper we present a conceptual design for addressing the challenges posed to
operating systems by the growing number of processors, the new heterogeneity and …

Emerging hardware platforms are characterized by large degrees of parallelism, complex
memory hierarchies, and increasing hardware heterogeneity. Their theoretical peak data …

The performance of database systems is usually characterised by their average-case (ie,
throughput) behaviour in standardised or de-facto standard benchmarks like TPC-X or …

Scheduling various data-intensive tasks over the processing units of a server has been a
heavily studied but still challenging effort. In order to utilize modern multicore servers well, a …
