Performance Engineering for In-Memory Databases: Models, Experiments and Optimization

Applications that involve real-time databases (in which the access to data must satisfy certain time constraints), are difficult to implement on standard architectural platforms. A major reason concerns the limited memory bandwidth available in standard ...

Conventional database systems manage all data on hard disks, but due to a hard disk's frequent I/O operations, this kind of management exposes critical problems when data is huge or operations are complex and frequent. As the size of the main memory ...

Databases are more and more used in embedded system applications and especially in consumer electronics. This comes from the need to structure user and/or system data to be more efficiently managed and accessed. The transactional database management ...
