Database systems in the multicore era

2010

Abstract

Database systems have long optimized for parallel execution; the research community has pursued parallel database machines since the early `80s, and several the key ideas from that era underlie the design and success of commercial database engines today. Computer architectures have shifted drastically during the intervening decades, however, and today the constraints of semiconductor technology combine with Moore's Law to double the number of processors per chip every 18 months. Converting this available raw parallelism into scalable performance is increasingly difficult with conventional servers, for both business intelligence and transaction processing workloads.

Database

In computing, a database is an organized collection of data (also known as a data store) stored and accessed electronically through the use of a database management system. Small databases can be stored on a , while large databases are hosted on computer clusters or cloud storage. The design of databases spans formal techniques and practical considerations, including data modeling, efficient data representation and storage, query languages, security and privacy of sensitive data, and distributed computing issues, including supporting concurrent access and fault tolerance.

Computer architecture

In computer science, computer architecture is a description of the structure of a computer system made from component parts. It can sometimes be a high-level description that ignores details of the implementation. At a more detailed level, the description may include the instruction set architecture design, microarchitecture design, logic design, and implementation. The first documented computer architecture was in the correspondence between Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, describing the analytical engine.

Word (computer architecture)

In computing, a word is the natural unit of data used by a particular processor design. A word is a fixed-sized datum handled as a unit by the instruction set or the hardware of the processor. The number of bits or digits in a word (the word size, word width, or word length) is an important characteristic of any specific processor design or computer architecture.
