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 ...

The Bionic DBMS is Coming, but What Will It Look Like?

Frederick Ryan Johnson, Ippokratis Pandis

Software has always ruled database engines, and commodity processors riding Moore's Law doomed database machines of the 1980s from the start. However, today's hardware landscape is very different, and moving in directions that make database machines increa ...

Pre-Entry Resources, Strategic Positioning Choices and Introduction of Dominant Designs: Evidence from the Hard Disk Drive Industry

Christopher Tucci, Anu Wadhwa, Richard Tee

We investigate the role that strategic positioning choices and pre-entry endowments play in determining the post entry innovative performance of firms that enter new markets. We hypothesize that the flexibility enjoyed by small entrants allows them to posi ...

Cantilever Magnetometry of Individual Ni Nanotubes

Dirk Grundler, Eleonora Russo

Recent experimental and theoretical work has focused on ferromagnetic nanotubes due to their potential applications as magnetic sensors or as elements in high-density magnetic memory. The possible presence of magnetic vortex states-states which produce no ...

Amazon Web Services- a Case Study

Rammohan Narendula

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a set (more than 25) of proprietary web-based services owned by Amazon.com. All these services ranging from simple storage to sophisticated database services constitute the cloud platform oered by Amazon. An extensive list ...

Compression with Graphical Constraints: An Interactive Browser

Amin Karbasi, Morteza Zadimoghaddam

We study the problem of navigating/searching through a database of objects with potentially different popularities using a membership oracle. The membership oracle, given a subset of objects

A

, and a target object

Flash in a DBMS: Where and How?

Anastasia Ailamaki, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis, Radu Ioan Stoica

Over the past decade, new solid state storage technologies, with flash being the most mature one, have become increasingly popular. Such technologies store data durably, and can alleviate many handicaps of hard disk drives (HDDs). Nonetheless, they have ve ...

Database Queries in Java

Christopher Ming-Yee Iu

In conventional programming languages like Java, the interface for accessing databases is often inelegant. Typically, an entire separate database query language must be embedded inside a conventional programming language for programmers to access the full ...

On Probabilistic Fixpoint and Markov Chain Query Languages.

Christoph Koch

We study highly expressive query languages such as datalog, fixpoint, and while-languages on probabilistic databases. We generalize these languages such that computation steps (e.g. datalog rules) can fire probabilistically. We define two possible semantic ...

Evaluating and Repairing Write Performance on Flash Devices

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

In the last few years NAND flash storage has become more and more popular as price per GB and capacity both improve at exponential rates. Flash memory offers significant benefits compared to magnetic hard disk drives (HDDs) and DBMSs are highly likely to u ...
