In-Memory Database Query Acceleration

• SQL mostly made up from a few basic operations:

Filter | Search | Sort Join | Group |Aggregate

• First generation Database Query Acceleration:

– Select: filter to reduce a column

– Scan: search (“where” clause)

– Extract: Decompression

– Translate: lookup to accelerate big-to-small joins


Performance: In-Memory Query Acceleration Engines

• SPARC M7 processor uses dedicated acceleration engines built on chip

– Independently process streams of database column elements placed in system memory

– Example: Find all values that match ‘California’

• Frees processor cores to run higher level SQL functions

• Reads data directly from memory, processes it, and places results in cache for core usage

Capacity, Performance: Decompression Acceleration

• Compression is key to placing more data in-memory and in storage

• Speed of decompression is most important for database – reading typically outweighs writing

• Performance of decompress on today’s processors is fine for disk access, slow for flash, huge bottleneck for in-memory database

• Solution: Efficient compression algorithm plus acceleration engines run decompress at memory speeds, >120 GB/sec – Equivalent to 16 decompression PCI cards, 60 CPU cores

In-Memory Data Stream


Sophisticated Software, Large Memory Create Risk

• Some programming languages (e.g. C, C++) are vulnerable to memory corruption caused by software errors

• Memory corruption bugs are extremely hard to find

– Victim thread finds corrupted data long after corruption happens

• Databases and applications have tens of millions of lines of code, thousands of developers

• In-memory database increases risk – terabytes of critical data in-memory

• Buffer overflows are a major source of security exploits

Huge Factor in Software Quality and Overall System Reliability


Security, Reliability: Application Data Integrity

• SPARC M7’s Application Data Integrity stops memory corruption

– Memory pointer color must match content color or access is denied

• Can be used in optimized production code with essentially no impact on performance

• Allows increased speed and efficiency of application development

• Helps stop malicious code from accessing other application data

– Bullet-proof your applications with ADI

– Use Software in Silicon application accelerators

– Create and test VM templates

– Improve code reliability and performance with Oracle Solaris Studio

– Learn from code examples, demos, and documentation

Innovation Leads to Value in Running Oracle on Oracle

• New with Oracle Database 12c

– Dynamically resize your Database SGA online without a reboot

– Bring Oracle Database instances up to 20x faster

• Increased Oracle RAC performance – 30-40% lower latency in locking, up to 20% higher throughput

• Centralized Audit Reporting and Alerts

– Simplify compliance reporting for Solaris and Database

– Detect and analyze security threats more easily

Oracle Database Runs Best on Oracle Solaris


• X86 servers running Linux and virtualization software deliver IT infrastructure with the lowest cost

• Building clouds with Oracle SPARC servers running Oracle Solaris 11 offer lower cost per virtual machine

– Better performance

– Better consolidation ratios

– Greater flexibility
