We present Recipe, a principled approach for converting concurrent DRAM indexes into
crash-consistent indexes for persistent memory (PM). The main insight behind Recipe is that …

The advent of Storage Class Memory (SCM) is driving a rethink of storage systems towards
a single-level architecture where memory and storage are merged. In this context, several …

Growing main memory capacity has fueled the development of in-memory big data
management and processing. By eliminating disk I/O bottleneck, it is now possible to support …

Amazon Aurora is a relational database service for OLTP workloads offered as part of
Amazon Web Services (AWS). In this paper, we describe the architecture of Aurora and the …

Hekaton is a new database engine optimized for memory resident data and OLTP
workloads. Hekaton is fully integrated into SQL Server; it is not a separate system. To take …

Silo is a new in-memory database that achieves excellent performance and scalability on
modern multicore machines. Silo was designed from the ground up to use system memory …

With the emergence of byte-addressable persistent memory (PM), a cache line, instead of a
page, is expected to be the unit of data transfer between volatile and nonvolatile devices, but …

Hybrid memory systems consisting of DRAM and Non-Volatile Memory are promising to
persist data fast. The index design of existing key-value stores for hybrid memory fails to …

Storing a database (rows and indexes) entirely in non-volatile memory (NVM) potentially
enables both high performance and fast recovery. To fully exploit parallelism on modern …

Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) is a widely employed concurrency control
mechanism, as it allows for execution modes where readers never block writers. However …
