Designing a database system for modern processing architectures

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Heimel, Max
Abstract	The hardware landscape is getting increasingly diverse. A modern desktop computer can contain multiple different processing architectures like multi-core CPUs or GPUs. This diversity is expected to grow significantly in the next ten years, with micro-architectures themselves diverging towards highly parallel and heterogeneous designs. We believe that preparing database systems to exploit this diverse landscape of processing architectures will be one of the major challenges for the coming decade in database research. In this paper, we present our thoughts and results on modifying the components of a database system to efficiently use modern processing architectures. In particular, we discuss our work on offloading parts of the Query Optimizer to highly parallel processors such as graphics cards, and present our work on designing a hardware-oblivious Execution Engine that can run unchanged on a multitude of different processing architectures.
