    Architectural Principles for Database Systems on Storage-Class Memory
    (BTW 2019, 2019) Oukid, Ismail
    Storage-Class Memory (SCM) is a novel class of memory technologies that combine the byte addressability and low latency of DRAM with the density and non-volatility of traditional storage media. Hence, SCM can serve as persistent main memory, i.e., as main memory and storage at the same time. In this thesis, we dissect the challenges and pursue the opportunities brought by SCM to database systems. To solve the identified challenges, we devise necessary building blocks for enabling SCM-based database systems, namely memory management, data structures, transaction concurrency control, recovery techniques, and a testing framework against new failure scenarios stemming from SCM. Thereafter, we leverage these building blocks to build SOFORT, a novel hybrid SCM-DRAM transactional storage engine that places data, accesses it, and updates it directly in SCM, thereby doing away with traditional write-ahead logging and achieving near-instant recovery.

    Efficient Synchronization Techniques in a Decentralized Memory Management System Enabling Shared Memory
    (PARS: Parallel-Algorithmen, -Rechnerstrukturen und -Systemsoftware: Vol. 28, No. 1, 2011) Mattes, Oliver; Schindewolf, Martin; Sedler, Roland; Buchty, Rainer; Karl, Wolfgang
    The rising integration level enables combining more logic on a single chip. This is exploited in multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoCs) or manycore research prototypes such as the Intel SCC. These platforms offer access to shared memory over a limited number of controllers which may lead to congestion. In order to scale the memory with the core count, the memory management must become more flexible and distributed in nature. In the near future decentralized systems with multiple selfmanaging memory components will arise. The problem tackled in this paper is how to realize synchronization mechanisms for coincident access to shared memory in such a decentralized memory management system. Furthermore, improvements of the distributed synchronization mechanism are integrated and evaluated. To speed up the synchronization, additional logic in the form of a locks queue, is added. In order to reduce the network traffic this is combined by extending the synchronization protocol with exponential backoff. In the evaluation, side effects of combining both techniques are discussed and explained.
