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 …

Internet of Things (IoT) aims to connect the real world made up of devices, sensors and
actuators to the virtual world of Internet in order to interconnect devices with each other …

Serverless computing has recently attracted a lot of attention from research and industry due
to its promise of ultimate elasticity and operational simplicity. However, there is no …

The first edition of this book appeared in 1991 when the technology was new and there were
not too many products. In the Preface to the first edition, we had quoted Michael Stonebraker …

Non-volatile memory (NVM) is a new storage technology that combines the performance
and byte addressability of DRAM with the persistence of traditional storage devices like flash …

Using indexes for query execution is crucial for achieving high performance in modern on-
line transaction processing databases. For a main-memory database, however, these …

We present XIndex, a concurrent ordered index designed for fast queries. Similar to a recent
proposal of the learned index, XIndex uses learned models to optimize index efficiency …

Disk-based database systems use buffer managers in order to transparently manage data
sets larger than main memory. This traditional approach is effective at minimizing the …

On-line transaction processing (OLTP) database management systems (DBMSs) often serve
time-varying workloads due to daily, weekly or seasonal fluctuations in demand, or because …

Many of today's applications need massive real-time data processing. In-memory database
systems have become a good alternative for these requirements. These systems maintain …
