ABSTRACT
We propose hardware supported intelligent memory access schemes for high performance database operations. A comparator array is installed in a memory module to help database operations, which allows simple predicate matching to be processed in the memory to reduce traffic between the CPU and the main memory. In this paper, we evaluate the query processing performance using introduced memory access schemes and show that hardware support memory accesses improve the performance of the main memory database operations.

Redesign the Memory Allocator for Non-Volatile Main Memory
Special Issue on Hardware and Algorithms for Learning On-a-chip and Special Issue on Alternative Computing SystemsThe non-volatile memory (NVM) has the merits of byte-addressability, fast speed, persistency and low power consumption, which make it attractive to be used as main memory. Commonly, user process dynamically acquires memory through memory allocators. ...
A case study on the application of real phase-change RAM to main memory subsystem
DATE '12: Proceedings of the Conference on Design, Automation and Test in EuropePhase-change RAM (PCM) has the advantages of better scaling and non-volatility compared with the DRAM which is expected to face its scaling limit in the near future. There have been many studies on applying the PCM to main memory in order to complement ...
A durable and energy efficient main memory using phase change memory technology
ISCA '09: Proceedings of the 36th annual international symposium on Computer architectureUsing nonvolatile memories in memory hierarchy has been investigated to reduce its energy consumption because nonvolatile memories consume zero leakage power in memory cells. One of the difficulties is, however, that the endurance of most nonvolatile ...
