Seminar SS 14
Main topic: Optimizing data management on new hardware
Requirements: Lecture "Datenbankanwendung"
Contact: Weiping Qu
Overview
In this term's seminar, we will look into various approaches for optimizing data management functionality (for example, query processing, recovery, etc.) by exploiting new developments in hardware, such as large main memories, multi-core processors, GPUs, FPGAs, flash memory, phase-change memory (PCM), and system appliances.
