20110113036 | EFFICIENT FILE ACCESS IN A LARGE REPOSITORY USING A TWO-LEVEL CACHE - A two-level cache to facilitate resolving resource path expressions for a hierarchy of resources is described, which includes a system-wide shared cache and a session-level cache. The shared cache is organized as a hierarchy of hash tables that mirrors the structure of a repository hierarchy. A particular hash table in a shared cache includes information for the child resources of a particular resource. A database management system that manages a shared cache may control the amount of memory used by the cache by implementing a replacement policy for the cache based on one or more characteristics of the resources in the repository. The session-level cache is a single level cache in which information for target resources of resolved path expressions may be tracked. In the session-level cache, the resource information is associated with the entire path expression of the associated resource. | 05-12-2011 |

20140067791 | Automatic Denormalization For Analytic Query Processing In Large-Scale Clusters - A system and method for improving performance of join operations is disclosed. The method in one embodiment includes building a graph of vertices and edges, which represent the tables and join conditions for a particular database schema. The method then traverses the graph to find a set of candidate join operations. The method further includes selecting from the set of subset of join operations that makes the best use of a given amount of memory, which means finding a collection of denormalizations which when residing in memory provide the most benefit and the least cost for the given amount of memory. The method then deploys the denormalizations so that current queries in a query processing system can use them instead of actually performing the joins. | 03-06-2014 |
20140101205 | Efficient Pushdown Of Joins In A Heterogeneous Database System Involving A Large-Scale Low-Power Cluster - A system and method for allocating join processing between and RDBMS and an assisting cluster. In one embodiment, the method estimates a cost of performing the join completely in the RDBMS and the cost of performing the join with the assistance of a cluster coupled to the RDBMS. The cost of performing the join with the assistance of the cluster includes estimating a cost of a broadcast join or a partition join depending on the sizes of the tables. Additional costs are incurred when there is a blocking operation, which prevents the cluster from being able to process portions of the join. The RDBMS also maintains transactional consistency when the cluster performs some or all of the join processing. | 04-10-2014 |
20140280037 | Pushdown Of Sorting And Set Operations (Union, Intersection, Minus) To A Large Number Of Low-Power Cores In A Heterogeneous System - A system and method for performing a query operation on a pair of relations in a database system coupled to a heterogeneous system (HS) is disclosed. Assuming that that pair of relations is partitioned and already loaded into the HS, the database system receives a query on the pair of relations and based on the type of query operation computes the cost of performing the query operation on the database alone or the costs of performing the query operation with the assistance of the HS, each of the costs corresponding to a particular algorithm. If the costs indicate that the HS improves the performance of the query operation, then the HS computes portions of the operation, and returns the results back to the database system. If any parts of the relation are out of sync with the database system, the database system performs operations to maintain transactional consistency. | 09-18-2014 |
20140280298 | Massively Parallel And In-Memory Execution Of Grouping And Aggregation In a Heterogeneous System - A system and method for processing a group and aggregate query on a relation are disclosed. A database system determines whether assistance of a heterogeneous system (HS) of compute nodes is beneficial in performing the query. Assuming that the relation has been partitioned and loaded into the HS, the database system determines, in a compile phase, whether the HS has the functional capabilities to assist, and whether the cost and benefit favor performing the operation with the assistance of the HS. If the cost and benefit favor using the assistance of the HS, then the system enters the execution phase. The database system starts, in the execution phase, an optimal number of parallel processes to produce and consume the results from the compute nodes of the HS. After any needed transaction consistency checks, the results of the query are returned by the database system. | 09-18-2014 |
20150039627 | PROBING A HASH TABLE USING VECTORIZED INSTRUCTIONS - Techniques for performing database operations using vectorized instructions are provided. In one technique, a hash table probe phase involves executing vectorized instructions to determine where in a bucket a particular key is located. This determination may be preceded by one or more vectorized instructions that are used to determine whether the bucket contains the particular key. | 02-05-2015 |
20150039628 | PERFORMING AN AGGREGATION OPERATION USING VECTORIZED INSTRUCTIONS - Techniques for performing database operations using vectorized instructions are provided. In one technique, an aggregation operation involves executing vectorized instructions to update a data value that corresponds to a particular key. The aggregation operation may be one of count, sum, minimum, maximum, or average. | 02-05-2015 |
