Data storage devices are getting" smarter." Smart Flash storage devices (aka" Smart SSD")
are on the horizon and will package CPU processing and DRAM storage inside a Smart …

While FPGAs have seen prior use in database systems, in recent years interest in using
FPGA to accelerate databases has declined in both industry and academia for the following …

We explore the potential of making programmability a central feature of the SSD interface.
Our prototype system, called Willow, allows programmers to augment and extend the …

This paper describes the design of the Cipherbase system. Cipherbase is a full-fledged SQL
database system that achieves high performance and high data confidentiality by storing …

Aiming at the current problems that most physical hosts in the cloud data center are so
overloaded that it makes the whole cloud data center'load imbalanced and that existing load …

As the amount of memory in database systems grows, entire database tables, or even
databases, are able to fit in the system's memory, making in-memory database operations …

This paper explores the benefits and limitations of in-storage processing on current Solid-
State Disk (SSD) architectures. While disk-based in-storage processing has not been widely …

Consensus mechanisms for ensuring consistency are some of the most expensive
operations in managing large amounts of data. Often, there is a trade off that involves …

This paper analyses different hardware sorting architectures in order to implement a highly
scaleable sorter for solving huge problems at high performance up to the GB range in linear …

The multi-core architectures of today's computer systems make parallelism a necessity for
performance critical applications. Writing such applications in a generic, hardware-oblivious …
