20120254120 | LOGGING SYSTEM USING PERSISTENT MEMORY - A computer program product, including: a computer readable storage device to store a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program, when executed by a processor within a computer, causes the computer to perform operations for logging. The operations include: receiving a transaction including data and a log record corresponding to the data; writing the data to a data storage device; and writing the log record to a log space on a persistent memory device coupled to the data storage device. | 10-04-2012 |
20130226955 | BI-TEMPORAL KEY VALUE CACHE SYSTEM - Described herein are techniques for supporting bi-temporal data in a key value cache system. An embodiment provides bi-temporal data as the basic functionality of a key value cache system. An embodiment provides a redesign of the core data structures of a key value cache system, adds bi-temporal data storage in the key value hashing structure, and provides a temporality-aware memory space manager. Embodiments can achieve the same performance as current key value cache systems for regular queries (that is, the queries that only access the current versions of data) while supporting bi-temporal data. | 08-29-2013 |
20130290283 | SCM-CONSCIOUS TRANSACTIONAL KEY-VALUE STORE - Embodiments of a method are described. In one embodiment, the method is a method for executing and supporting transactions. The method includes receiving a transaction comprising a command and data. The method includes writing the data to a transaction manager on a persistent memory device. The transaction manager also maintains a status of the transaction and reference to entries within memory that are manipulated by the transaction. The method also includes creating an in-memory log of the transaction in a first hash directory. The method includes committing a copy of the first hash directory to a second hash directory maintained on a persistent memory device. | 10-31-2013 |
20130290655 | SCM-CONSCIOUS TRANSACTIONAL KEY-VALUE STORE - Embodiments of a system are described. In one embodiment, the system is a device for performing operations and supporting transactions. The device is configured to receive a transaction comprising a command and data. The device writes the data to a transaction manager on a persistent memory device. The transaction manager also maintains a status of the transaction and reference to entries within memory that are manipulated by the transaction. The device also creates an in-memory log of the transaction in a first hash directory. The device then commits a copy of the first hash directory to a second hash directory maintained on a persistent memory device. | 10-31-2013 |
20140059284 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS MEMORY SPACE MANAGEMENT FOR STORAGE CLASS MEMORY - Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method and computer program products for memory space management for storage class memory. One embodiment comprises a method for information storage in an information technology environment. The method comprises storing data in a storage class memory (SCM) space, and storing storage management metadata corresponding to said data, in the SCM in a first data structure. The method further includes buffering storage management metadata corresponding to said data, in a main memory in a second data structure. | 02-27-2014 |
20150212999 | USING PARALLEL INSERT SUB-RANGES TO INSERT INTO A COLUMN STORE - Provided are techniques for using parallel inserts to insert into a column store. A list of sub-ranges for a columnar table is created. A change statement for one or more rows to be inserted into the columnar table is received. For each of the received change statements, a sub-range from the list of sub-ranges is identified and data is serially inserted into the identified sub-range of the columnar table, while allowing parallel processing of each change statement for different sub-ranges of the columnar table. | 07-30-2015 |
20150213071 | BUFFERING INSERTS INTO A COLUMN STORE DATABASE - Embodiments relate to database systems. An aspect includes deferring row insert operations until occurrence of a triggering event. One method includes receiving a row insert for a tuple into a column group store table, where the tuple includes one or more tuplets and each of the tuplets corresponds to a column group in the column group store table. The method also includes copying at least one of the tuplets into an insert buffer that is specific to one of the column groups in the column group store table. The method also includes deferring the row insert into the column group store table until an occurrence of one or more triggering events. The method also includes flushing the row insert into storage associated with the column group store table, in response to the occurrence of the one or more triggering events. | 07-30-2015 |
20150213073 | USING PARALLEL INSERT SUB-RANGES TO INSERT INTO A COLUMN STORE - Provided are techniques for using parallel inserts to insert into a column store. A list of sub-ranges for a columnar table is created. A change statement for one or more rows to be inserted into the columnar table is received. For each of the received change statements, a sub-range from the list of sub-ranges is identified and data is serially inserted into the identified sub-range of the columnar table, while allowing parallel processing of each change statement for different sub-ranges of the columnar table. | 07-30-2015 |
