OLTP on Hardware Islands

Anastasia Ailamaki, Pinar Tözün, Miguel Sérgio De Oliveira Branco, Danica Porobic, Ippokratis Pandis

Modern hardware is abundantly parallel and increasingly heterogeneous. The numerous processing cores have non-uniform access latencies to the main memory and to the processor caches, which causes variability in the communication costs. Unfortunately, datab ...
