Best ever summary of NoSQL from Coachbase. Interactive software (software with which a person iteratively interacts in real time) has changed in fundamental ways over the last 35 years. The “online” systems of the 1970s have, through a series of intermediate transformations, evolved into today’s Web and mobile applications. These systems solve new problems for potentially vastly larger user populations, and they execute atop a computing infrastructure that has changed even more radically over the years. The architecture…

Michael Stonebraker has been a pioneer of data base research and technology for more than a quarter of a century. He was the main architect of the INGRES relational DBMS, the object-relational DBMS, POSTGRES, and the federated data system, Mariposa. All three prototypes were developed at the University of California at Berkeley where Stonebraker was a Professor of Computer Science for twenty five years. He is the founder of three successful Silicon Valley startups,…

A topic left unexamined in this paper is the possibility of breaking up a data set and running a query concurrently on multiple GPUs. Though there would certainly be coordination overhead, it is very likely that SQL queries could be further accelerated with such a con guration. Consider the NVIDIA Tesla S1070, a server product which contains 4 Tesla GPUs. This machine has a combined GPU throughput of 408 GB/sec, 960 streaming multiprocessors, and a…

SMP stands for symmetric multi-processing, distribution of computingworkload across a cluster of linked computers. Each node may havemultiple, multi-core processors to further parallelize processing on thatnode. Nodes may have local disk storage and also share disk storage withother nodes. A database system that runs across nodes of an SMP clusteris termed “shared disk.” It uses locks to regulate concurrent access to thedatabase, although locking is typically not a bottle-neck for read-intensivedata-analysis applications.MPP stands for massively…
