It Takes Two : Instrumenting the Interaction between In-Memory Databases and Solid-State Drives

Lerner, Alberto ; Kwak, Jaewook ; Lee, Sangjin ; Park, Kibin ; Song, Yong Ho ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe

In: CIDR 2020, 10th Conference on Innovative Data Systems Research, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, January 12-15, 2020, Online Proceedings, 2020, p. 1-8

In-memory databases rely on non-volatile storage devices for services such as durability and recovery. SSDs can provide the high-performance these services require. When performance problems occur, however, SSDs offer no mechanism to help analyze them. The only alternative is to instrument the database side of the problem and conjecture about what might be the cause of performance...

Networking and Storage : The Next Computing Elements in Exascale Systems?

Lerner, Alberto ; Hussein, Rana ; Ryser, André ; Lee, Sangjin ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe

In: IEEE Data Engineering Bulletin, 2020, vol. 43, no. 1, p. 60-71

Many large computer clusters offer alternative computing elements in addition to general-purpose CPUs. GPU and FPGAs are very common choices. Two emerging technologies can further widen the options in that context: in-network computing (INC) and near-storage processing (NSP). These technologies support computing over data that is in transit between nodes or inside the storage stack,...

Challenging the Stateless Quo of Programmable Switches

Gebara, Nadeen ; Lerner, Alberto ; Yang, Mingran ; Yu, Minlan ; Costa, Paolo ; Ghobadi, Manya

In: HotNets '20: Proceedings of the 19th ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks, 2020, p. 153-159

Programmable switches based on the Protocol Independent Switch Architecture (PISA) have greatly enhanced the flexibility of today's networks by allowing new packet protocols to be deployed without any hardware changes. They have also been instrumental in enabling a new computing paradigm in which parts of an application's logic run within the network core (in-network computing). The...

Mind the Gap : An Experimental Evaluation of Imputation of Missing Values Techniques in Time Series

Khayati, Mourad ; Lerner, Alberto ; Tymchenko, Zakhar ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe

In: Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment, 2020, vol. 13, no. 5, p. 768-782

Recording sensor data is seldom a perfect process. Failures in power, communication or storage can leave occasional blocks of data missing, affecting not only real-time monitoring but also compromising the quality of near- and off-line data analysis. Several recovery (imputation) algorithms have been proposed to replace missing blocks. Unfortunately, little is known about their relative...
