Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A method, system and program product for data evolution on column oriented databases is disclosed. For an input evolution operation, reusable and non-reusable attributes are identified. For attributes in a target schema that cannot be reused from the source schema, data and bitmap indexes of those attributes are generated from source data and bitmap indexes. A decompose operation is disclosed for decomposing a table into two tables. A merge operation is disclosed in which only one input table can be reused for mergence. A second merge operation is disclosed in which both input tables cannot be reused for mergence.
Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments include an iceberg query method, including processing the iceberg query using a bitmap index having a plurality of bitmap vectors in a database, eliminating any of the plurality of bitmap vectors in the bitmap index that fails to meet a given condition thereby forming a subset of the plurality of bitmap vectors and aligning the vectors in the subset of the plurality of bitmap vectors in the bitmap index according to respective positions of the bitmap vectors in the subset of the plurality of bitmap vectors.
