A (Nearly) Free Lunch

Xavier Jimenez

NAND flash is a key storage technology in modern computing systems. Without it, many devices would probably not exist today or would at least not benefit from as many features. The very large success of this technology motivated massive efforts to scale it ...

H2O: A Hands-free Adaptive Store

Anastasia Ailamaki, Ioannis Alagiannis

Modern state-of-the-art database systems are designed around a single data storage layout. This is a fixed decision that drives the whole architectural design of a database system, i.e., row-stores, column-stores. However, none of those choices is a univer ...

Approximate Probabilistic Tree Indexing for Partitionable Data

Anastasia Ailamaki, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis

Today we experience a shift both in storage technologies and in workloads characteristics. Firstly, solid state disks (SSD) (using flash, PCM or other low-level technologies) emerge as viable competitors of hard disk drives (HDD). Secondly, the increasing ...

Querying Persistent Graphs using Solid State Storage

Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis

Recent advances in solid state technology have led to the introduction of Solid State Drives (SSDs). Todays SSDs store data persistently using NAND flash memory. While SSDs are more expensive than hard disks when measured in dollars per gigabyte, they are ...

Enabling efficient OS paging for main-memory OLTP databases

Anastasia Ailamaki, Radu Ioan Stoica

Even though main memory is becoming large enough to fit most OLTP databases, it may not always be the best option. OLTP workloads typically exhibit skewed access patterns where some records are hot (frequently accessed) but many records are cold (infrequen ...

X-Stream: Edge-centric Graph Processing using Streaming Partitions

Willy Zwaenepoel, Amitabha Roy, Ivo Mihailovic

X-Stream is a system for processing both in-memory and out-of-core graphs on a single shared-memory machine. While retaining the scatter-gather programming model with state stored in the vertices, X-Stream is novel in (i) using an edge-centric rather than ...

Adaptation Experiments on French MediaParl ASR

This document summarizes adaptation experiments done on French MediaParl corpus and other French corpora. Baseline adaptation techniques are briefly presented and evaluated in the MediaParl task for speaker adaptation, speaker adaptive training, database c ...

Automatic Synthesis of Out-of-Core Algorithms

Viktor Kuncak, Christoph Koch, Ioannis Klonatos, Andres Nötzli, Andrej Spielmann

We present a system for the automatic synthesis of efficient algorithms specialized for a particular memory hierarchy and a set of storage devices. The developer provides two independent inputs: 1) an algorithm that ignores memory hierarchy and external st ...

Look up!: Your Future is in the Cloud

James Richard Larus

The "Cloud" is a wonderfully expansive phrase used to denote computation and data storage centralized in a large datacenter and elastically accessed across a network. The concept is not new; web sites and business servers have run in datacenters for a long ...

TOUCH: In-Memory Spatial Join by Hierarchical Data-Oriented Partitioning

Anastasia Ailamaki, Thomas Heinis, Farhan Tauheed, Sadegh Heyrani Nobari

Efficient spatial joins are pivotal for many applications and particularly important for geographical information systems or for the simulation sciences where scientists work with spatial models. Past research has primarily focused on disk-based spatial jo ...
