Professor Andy Pavlo and his students at Carnegie Mellon University are working to make sure database management systems (DBMSs) can take advantage of new and evolutionary hardware.

Tomorrow (8/31, 10:55) at the VLDB 2017 Conference in Munich, PhD candidate Joy Arulraj will present the paper “Write-Behind Logging”: how to change a DBMS’s logging and recovery algorithms to use emerging non-volatile memory (NVM). Their new protocol enables the DBMS to recover nearly instantaneously from system failures and reduces the wear-down on NVM devices. This work is in collaboration with Intel Labs and is part of CMU’s extensive work on non-volatile memory databases.
