A memory-adaptive sort (MASORT) for database systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A memory-adaptive sort is able to dynamically change the amount of memory used during sorting. The method described in this paper adjusts memory usage according to input size and memory requirements of other sorts running in a database system. It saves memory space for small sorts, reduces sort time for large sorts, and balances memory usage among concurrent sorts. Overall system performance is improved when several sorts are running concurrently.

متن کاملSQL Memory Management in Oracle9i
Complex database queries require the use of memory-intensive operators like sort and hashjoin. Those operators need memory, also referred to as SQL memory, to process their input data. For example, a sort operator uses a work area to perform the in-memory sort of a set of rows. The amount of memory allocated by these operators greatly affects their performance. However, there is only a finite a...
متن کاملMemory-Adaptive External Sorting
In real-time and goal-oriented database systems, the amount of memory assigned to queries that sort or join large relations may fluctuate due to contention from other higher-priority transactions. This study focuses on techniques that enable external sorts both to reduce their buffer usage when they lose memory, and to effectively utilize any additional buffers that are given to them. We also s...

Two emerging hardware trends will dominate the database system technology in the near future: increasing main memory capacities of several TB per server and massively parallel multi-core processing. Many algorithmic and control techniques in current database technology were devised for disk-based systems where I/O dominated the performance. In this work we take a new look at the well-known sort...
