EESSD (Energy-Efficient Storage System for Databases)
Project
This project investigates how to improve the energy efficiency of database storage systems, and how they can contribute to the optimization of the overall energy consumption and performance of database systems (see also our project Energy-Efficient DBS). We study and propose novel architectures, algorithms, and techniques related to emerging memory technologies such as Flash memory and PCM (Phase-Change Memory). These memories have some attractive properties in common: low access latency, low idle power, and high density. A prototype system (eessd) is being developed to support empirical methods.
