The Oracle RDBMS In-memory Option (DBIM), introduced in 2014, is an industry-first distributed dual format in-memory RDBMS that allows a database object to be stored in columnar format purely in-memory, simultaneously maintaining transactional consistency with the corresponding row-major format persisted in storage and accessed through in-memory database buffer cache. The in-memory columnar format...
The computing paradigm of "HPC in the Cloud" has gained a surging interest in recent years, due to its merits of cost-efficiency, flexibility, and scalability. Cloud is designed on top of distributed file systems such as Google file system (GFS). The capability of running HPC applications on top of data-intensive file systems is a critical catalyst in promoting Clouds for HPC. However, the...
The MapReduce programming paradigm is gaining more and more popularity recently due to its merits of ease of programming, data distribution and fault tolerance. The low barrier of adoption of MapReduce makes it a promising framework for non-dedicated distributed computing environments. However, the variability of hosts resources and availability could substantially degrade the performance of MapReduce...
Parallel file systems are widely used for providing a high degree of I/O parallelism to mask the gap between I/O and memory speed. However, peak I/O performance is rarely attained due to complex data access patterns of applications. Based on the observation that the I/O performance of small requests is often limited by the request service rate, and the performance of large requests is limited by I/O...
Parallel applications can benefit greatly from massive computational capability, but their performance suffers from large latency of I/O accesses. The poor I/O performance has been attributed as a critical cause of the low sustained performance of parallel computing systems. In this study, we propose a data layout-aware optimization strategy to promote a better integration of the parallel I/O middleware...
