Shore-MT: A Scalable Storage Manager for the Multicore Era

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Ippokratis Pandis

Database storage managers have long been able to efficiently handle multiple concurrent requests. Until recently, however, a computer contained only a few single-core CPUs, and therefore only a few transactions could simultaneously access the storage manag ...

Dynamic Prediction based Scheduling for TM

Anmol Tomar

Transactional memory (TM) provides an intuitive and simple way of writing parallel programs. TMs execute parallel programs speculatively and deliver better performance than conventional lock based parallel programs. However, in certain scenarios when an ap ...

Toward a Theory of Input Acceptance for Transactional Memories

Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

As opposed to database transactional systems, transactional memory (TM) systems are constrained by real-time while treating their input workload. Nevertheless, there is no clear formalization of how a TM should react regarding to a specific input. While TM ...

Transparent scalable database replication

Sameh Mohamed Elnikety

This thesis demonstrates that, despite earlier projections to the contrary, database replication on a cluster of low-cost commodity servers can transparently scale database performance. In a replicated system providing the standard transactional properties ...

Deferred-update database replication

Rodrigo Malta Schmidt

This thesis is about the design of high-performance fault-tolerant computer systems. More specifically, it focuses on how to develop database systems that behave correctly and with good performance even in the event of failures. Both performance and depend ...

A Web Survey for Facial Expressions Evaluation

Michel Bierlaire, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Matteo Sorci, Gianluca Antonini

In the recent years, researchers have investigated several methods of facial expression analysis. Their interest has been to apply their algorithms to sets of images labelled by a restrained number of experts. In order to deal with the generalizability of ...

A Formal Analysis of the Deferred Update Technique

Rodrigo Malta Schmidt, Fernando Pedone

The deferred update technique is a widely used approach for building replicated database systems. Its fame stems from the fact that read-only transactions can execute locally to any single database replica, providing good performance for workloads where tr ...

Whodunit: Transactional Profiling for Multi-Tier Applications

Willy Zwaenepoel

This paper is concerned with performance debugging of multi- tier applications, such as commonly found in servers and dynamic-content web sites. Existing tools and techniques for profiling such applications are not general enough to track and profile trans ...

Tashkent: Uniting Durability with Transaction Ordering for High-Performance Scalable Database Replication

Sameh Mohamed Elnikety, Fernando Pedone

In stand-alone databases, the functions of ordering the transaction commits and making the effects of transactions durable are performed in one single action, namely the writing of the commit record to disk. For efficiency many of these writes are grouped ...
