The invention relates to a data processing system and a date processing method. The data processing system is configured to perform a hardware transactional memory (HTM) transaction. The data processing system comprises a byte-addressable nonvolatile memory for persistently storing data and a processor being configured to execute an atomic HTM write operation in connection with committing the HTM transaction by writing an indicator to the nonvolatile memory indicating the successful commit of the HTM transaction.

Coherence protocol for hardware transactional memory in shared memory using non volatile memory with log and no lock

A system for creating a snapshot of a subset of a database stored as a plurality of segments in an address space, where the system includes a processor configured to determine from the segments, one or more source segments of the snapshot, and allocate, using a virtual memory creation unit for the snapshot, one or more snapshot segments within the address space, where the one or more snapshot segments are mapped to same physical memory addresses as the one or more source segments, and where the one or more source segments and/or the one or more snapshot segments are set to copy-on-write.

System and method for creating a snapshot of a subset of a database

An event processing system is configured to process a stream of events operating on a database system. The event processing system comprises an event load balancing unit, a plurality of event computing nodes, and a plurality of event state stores, wherein the event load balancing unit is configured to route the stream of events to the plurality of event computing nodes, wherein the plurality of event state stores are configured to store states of the plurality of event computing nodes for maintaining a state of the event processing, and wherein the plurality of event computing nodes are configured to process the events, to change their states, and to update the plurality of event state stores based on their changed states.

Event processing system

A method for copying values of a table of a database between a primary memory and a secondary memory comprises selecting one or more segments, wherein the table is organized in a plurality of stripes and a plurality of vertical partitions, wherein a stripe comprises at least two rows of the table, wherein a vertical partition comprises one or more columns of the table, wherein each of the plurality of segments comprises values at a cross-section of a stripe and a vertical partition, and wherein each of the plurality of segments stores adjacent column values in adjacent locations of the primary or the secondary memory, and copying the one or more selected segments between the primary memory and the secondary memory.

Method, apparatus and data structure for copying values of a table of a database

A method for tracking objects in a first memory during a plurality of time intervals is provided, wherein the method comprises: updating, by one or more update threads, copying, by the one or more test threads, the one or more non-copied shadow objects to a second memory, determining, by the one or more test threads whether the step of copying the one or more non-copied shadow objects was successful, and updating, by the one or more test threads, the status variables of corresponding objects that correspond to the one or more non-copied shadow objects that were copied successfully, wherein subsequent bits of the status variables correspond to subsequent time intervals and wherein the one or more update threads and the one or more test threads operate on disjoint sets of bits of the status variables.

Method and apparatus for tracking objects in a first memory

A system for memory synchronization of a multi-core system is provided, the system comprising: an assigning module which is configured to assign at least one memory partition to at least one core of the multi-core system; a mapping module which is configured to provide information for translation lookaside buffer shootdown for the multi-core system leveraged by sending an interrupt to the at least one core of the multi-core system, if a page table entry associated with the memory partition assigned to the at least one core is modified; and an interface module which is configured to provide an interface to the assigning module from user-space.

System and method for memory synchronization of a multi-core system

A data management device is provided, comprising a control module and a storage module, wherein the storage module is configured to store a plurality of data sets in a plurality of data set groups such that the plurality of data sets is assigned to the plurality of data set groups such that every data set group comprises at least one data set and every data set is stored in one data set group only and wherein the control module is configured to assign an exclusive execution context to each data set group and to estimate a number of data set requests for every data set.

Load balancing for large in-memory databases

A system is provided for creating selective snapshots of a database that is stored as one or more segments, wherein a segment comprises one or more memory pages. The system includes a memory storage comprising instructions and one or more processors in communication with the memory. The one or more processors execute the instructions to determine whether a snapshot process is configured to access a selected segment of the one or more segments, assign a positive mapping status to an accessed segment for which the determining unit has determined that it is accessed by the snapshot process and to assign a negative mapping status to a non-accessed segment, and create a snapshot comprises a step of forking the snapshot process with an address space that comprises a subset of the one or more segments.
