Drivolution: Rethinking the Database Driver Lifecycle

George Candea, Emmanuel Cecchet

The current design of database drivers – a necessary evil for interacting with a DBMS – imposes undue burdens on those who install, upgrade, and manage database systems and their applications. In this paper, we introduce Drivolution, a new architecture for ...

A New Look at the Roles of Spinning and Blocking

Anastasia Ailamaki, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis, Radu Ioan Stoica

Database engines face growing scalability challenges as core counts exponentially increase each processor generation, and the efficiency of synchronization primitives used to protect internal data structures is a crucial factor in overall database performa ...

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 ...

Cross-species and cross-platform gene expression studies with the Bioconductor-compliant R package 'annotationTools'

Mauro Delorenzi

BACKGROUND: The variety of DNA microarray formats and datasets presently available offers an unprecedented opportunity to perform insightful comparisons of heterogeneous data. Cross-species studies, in particular, have the power of identifying conserved, f ...

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 ...

Database Replication Using Generalized Snapshot Isolation

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sameh Mohamed Elnikety, Fernando Pedone

Generalized snapshot isolation extends snapshot isolation as used in Oracle and other databases in a manner suitable for replicated databases. While (conventional) snapshot isolation requires that transactions observe the “latest” snapshot of the database, ...

NEOBASE: databasing the neocortical microcircuit

Henry Markram

Mammals adapt to a rapidly changing world because of the sophisticated perceptual and cognitive function enabled by the neocortex. The neocortex, which has expanded to constitute nearly 80% of the human brain seems to have arisen from repeated duplication ...
