Many scientific data-intensive applications perform iterative computations on array data. There exist multiple engines specialized for array processing. These engines efficiently support various types of operations, but none includes native support for iterative processing. In this paper, we develop a model for iterative array computations and a series of optimizations. We evaluate the benefits of an optimized, native support for iterative array processing on the SciDB engine and real workloads from the astronomy domain.

With the growing DRAM capacity and core count in modern servers, database systems are becoming increasingly multi-engine to feature a heterogeneous set of engines. In particular, a memory-optimized engine and a conventional storage-centric engine may
coexist for various application needs. However, handling cross-engine transactions that access more than one engine remains challenging in terms of correctness, performance and programmability. This paper describes Skeena, a holistic approach to cross-engine transactions. We propose a lightweight transaction tracking structure and an atomic commit protocol to ensure correctness and support various isolation levels in multi-engine systems. Evaluation on a 40-core server shows that Skeena (1) does not penalize single-engine transactions and (2) enables the use of cross-engine transactions to improve throughput by up to 30x and/or reduce storage cost by judiciously placing tables in different engines.
Existing data storage systems offer a wide range of functionalities to accommodate an equally diverse range of applications. However, new classes of applications have emerged, e.g., blockchain and collaborative analytics, featuring data versioning, f
ork semantics, tamper-evidence or any combination thereof. They present new opportunities for storage systems to efficiently support such applications by embedding the above requirements into the storage. In this paper, we present ForkBase, a storage engine specifically designed to provide efficient support for blockchain and forkable applications. By integrating the core application properties into the storage, ForkBase not only delivers high performance but also reduces development effort. Data in ForkBase is multi-versioned, and each version uniquely identifies the data content and its history. Two variants of fork semantics are supported in ForkBase to facilitate any collaboration workflows. A novel index structure is introduced to efficiently identify and eliminate duplicate content across data objects. Consequently, ForkBase is not only efficient in performance, but also in space requirement. We demonstrate the performance of ForkBase using three applications: a blockchain platform, a wiki engine and a collaborative analytics application. We conduct extensive experimental evaluation of these applications against respective state-of-the-art system. The results show that ForkBase achieves superior performance while significantly lowering the development cost.
Scientists are increasingly turning to datacenter-scale computers to produce and analyze massive arrays. Despite decades of database research that extols the virtues of declarative query processing, scientists still write, debug and parallelize imper
ative HPC kernels even for the most mundane queries. This impedance mismatch has been partly attributed to the cumbersome data loading process; in response, the database community has proposed in situ mechanisms to access data in scientific file formats. Scientists, however, desire more than a passive access method that reads arrays from files. This paper describes ArrayBridge, a bi-directional array view mechanism for scientific file formats, that aims to make declarative array manipulations interoperable with imperative file-centric analyses. Our prototype implementation of ArrayBridge uses HDF5 as the underlying array storage library and seamlessly integrates into the SciDB open-source array database system. In addition to fast querying over external array objects, ArrayBridge produces arrays in the HDF5 file format just as easily as it can read from it. ArrayBridge also supports time travel queries from imperative kernels through the unmodified HDF5 API, and automatically deduplicates between arr
As large graph processing emerges, we observe a costly fork-processing pattern (FPP) that is common in many graph algorithms. The unique feature of the FPP is that it launches many independent queries from different source vertices on the same graph.
For example, an algorithm in analyzing the network community profile can execute Personalized PageRanks that start from tens of thousands of source vertices at the same time. We study the efficiency of handling FPPs in state-of-the-art graph processing systems on multi-core architectures. We find that those systems suffer from severe cache miss penalty because of the irregular and uncoordinated memory accesses in processing FPPs. In this paper, we propose ForkGraph, a cache-efficient FPP processing system on multi-core architectures. To improve the cache reuse, we divide the graph into partitions each sized of LLC capacity, and the queries in an FPP are buffered and executed on the partition basis. We further develop efficient intra- and inter-partition execution strategies for efficiency. For intra-partition processing, since the graph partition fits into LLC, we propose to execute each graph query with efficient sequential algorithms (in contrast with parallel algorithms in existing parallel graph processing systems) and present an atomic-free query processing by consolidating contending operations to cache-resident graph partition. For inter-partition processing, we propose yielding and priority-based scheduling, to reduce redundant work in processing. Besides, we theoretically prove that ForkGraph performs the same amount of work, to within a constant factor, as the fastest known sequential algorithms in FPP queries processing, which is work efficient. Our evaluations on real-world graphs show that ForkGraph significantly outperforms state-of-the-art graph processing systems with two orders of magnitude speedups.
Efficient execution of SPARQL queries over large RDF datasets is a topic of considerable interest due to increased use of RDF to encode data. Most of this work has followed either relational or graph-based approaches. In this paper, we propose an alt
ernative query engine, called gSmart, based on matrix algebra. This approach can potentially better exploit the computing power of high-performance heterogeneous architectures that we target. gSmart incorporates: (1) grouped incident edge-based SPARQL query evaluation, in which all unevaluated edges of a vertex are evaluated together using a series of matrix operations to fully utilize query constraints and narrow down the solution space; (2) a graph query planner that determines the order in which vertices in query graphs should be evaluated; (3) memory- and computation-efficient data structures including the light-weight sparse matrix (LSpM) storage for RDF data and the tree-based representation for evaluation results; (4) a multi-stage data partitioner to map the incident edge-based query evaluation into heterogeneous HPC architectures and develop multi-level parallelism; and (5) a parallel executor that uses the fine-grained processing scheme, pre-pruning technique, and tree-pruning technique to lower inter-node communication and enable high throughput. Evaluations of gSmart on a CPU+GPU HPC architecture show execution time speedups of up to 46920.00x compared to the existing SPARQL query engines on a single node machine. Additionally, gSmart on the Tianhe-1A supercomputer achieves a maximum speedup of 6.90x scaling from 2 to 16 CPU+GPU nodes.
