Although significant recent progress has been made in improving the multi-core scalability of high throughput transactional database systems, modern systems still fail to achieve scalable throughput for workloads involving frequent access to highly contended data. Most of this inability to achieve high throughput is explained by the fundamental constraints involved in guaranteeing ACID --- the addition of cores results in more concurrent transactions accessing the same contended data for which access must be serialized in order to guarantee isolation. Thus, linear scalability for contended workloads is impossible. However, there exist flaws in many modern architectures that exacerbate their poor scalability, and result in throughput that is much worse than fundamentally required by the workload. In this paper we identify two prevalent design principles that limit the multi-core scalability of many (but not all) transactional database systems on contended workloads: the multi-purpose nature of execution threads in these systems, and the lack of advanced planning of data access. We demonstrate the deleterious results of these design principles by implementing a prototype system, ORTHRUS, that is motivated by the principles of separation of database component functionality and advanced planning of transactions. We find that these two principles alone result in significantly improved scalability on high-contention workloads, and an order of magnitude increase in throughput for a non-trivial subset of these contended workloads.

Research in transaction processing has made significant progress in improving the performance of multi-core in-memory transactional systems. However, the focus has mainly been on low-contention workloads. Modern transactional systems perform poorly o
n workloads with transactions accessing a few highly contended data items. We observe that most transactional workloads, including those with high contention, can be divided into clusters of data conflict-free transactions and a small set of residuals. In this paper, we introduce a new concurrency control protocol called Strife that leverages the above observation. Strife executes transactions in batches, where each batch is partitioned into clusters of conflict-free transactions and a small set of residual transactions. The conflict-free clusters are executed in parallel without any concurrency control, followed by executing the residual cluster either serially or with concurrency control. We present a low-overhead algorithm that partitions a batch of transactions into clusters that do not have cross-cluster conflicts and a small residual cluster. We evaluate Strife against the optimistic concurrency control protocol and several variants of two-phase locking, where the latter is known to perform better than other concurrency protocols under high contention, and show that Strife can improve transactional throughput by up to 2x. We also perform an in-depth micro-benchmark analysis to empirically characterize the performance and quality of our clustering algorithm
Current main memory database system architectures are still challenged by high contention workloads and this challenge will continue to grow as the number of cores in processors continues to increase. These systems schedule transactions randomly acro
ss cores to maximize concurrency and to produce a uniform load across cores. Scheduling never considers potential conflicts. Performance could be improved if scheduling balanced between concurrency to maximize throughput and scheduling transactions linearly to avoid conflicts. In this paper, we present the design of several intelligent transaction scheduling algorithms that consider both potential transaction conflicts and concurrency. To incorporate reasoning about transaction conflicts, we develop a supervised machine learning model that estimates the probability of conflict. This model is incorporated into several scheduling algorithms. In addition, we integrate an unsupervised machine learning algorithm into an intelligent scheduling algorithm. We then empirically measure the performance impact of different scheduling algorithms on OLTP and social networking workloads. Our results show that, with appropriate settings, intelligent scheduling can increase throughput by 54% and reduce abort rate by 80% on a 20-core machine, relative to random scheduling. In summary, the paper provides preliminary evidence that intelligent scheduling significantly improves DBMS performance.
It is important for big data systems to identify their performance bottleneck. However, the popular indicators such as resource utilizations, are often misleading and incomparable with each other. In this paper, a novel indicator framework which can
directly compare the impact of different indicators with each other is proposed to identify and analyze the performance bottleneck efficiently. A methodology which can construct the indicator from the performance change with the CPU frequency scaling is described. Spark is used as an example of a big data system and two typical SQL benchmarks are used as the workloads to evaluate the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed method is accurate compared with the resource utilization method and easy to implement compared with some white-box method. Meanwhile, the analysis with our indicators lead to some interesting findings and valuable performance optimization suggestions for big data systems.
Arguably data is the new natural resource in the enterprise world with an unprecedented degree of proliferation. But to derive real-time actionable insights from the data, it is important to bridge the gap between managing the data that is being upda
ted at a high velocity (i.e., OLTP) and analyzing a large volume of data (i.e., OLAP). However, there has been a divide where specialized solutions were often deployed to support either OLTP or OLAP workloads but not both; thus, limiting the analysis to stale and possibly irrelevant data. In this paper, we present Lineage-based Data Store (L-Store) that combines the real-time processing of transactional and analytical workloads within a single unified engine by introducing a novel lineage-based storage architecture. By exploiting the lineage, we develop a contention-free and lazy staging of columnar data from a write-optimized form (suitable for OLTP) into a read-optimized form (suitable for OLAP) in a transactionally consistent approach that also supports querying and retaining the current and historic data. Our working prototype of L-Store demonstrates its superiority compared to state-of-the-art approaches under a comprehensive experimental evaluation.
This paper focuses on the contention resolution problem on a shared communication channel that does not support collision detection. A shared communication channel is a multiple access channel, which consists of a sequence of synchronized time slots.
Players on the channel may attempt to broadcast a packet (message) in any time slot. A players broadcast succeeds if no other player broadcasts during that slot. If two or more players broadcast in the same time slot, then the broadcasts collide and both broadcasts fail. The lack of collision detection means that a player monitoring the channel cannot differentiate between the case of two or more players broadcasting in the same slot (a collision) and zero players broadcasting. In the contention-resolution problem, players arrive on the channel over time, and each player has one packet to transmit. The goal is to coordinate the players so that each player is able to successfully transmit its packet within reasonable time. However, the players can only communicate via the shared channel by choosing to either broadcast or not. A contention-resolution protocol is measured in terms of its throughput (channel utilization). Previous work on contention resolution that achieved constant throughput assumed that either players could detect collisions, or the players arrival pattern is generated by a memoryless (non-adversarial) process. The foundational question answered by this paper is whether collision detection is a luxury or necessity when the objective is to achieve constant throughput. We show that even without collision detection, one can solve contention resolution, achieving constant throughput, with high probability.
