Description

HardBD
: Data properties and hardware characteristics are two
key aspects for efficient data management. A clear trend
in the first aspect, data properties, is the increasing
demand to manage and process Big Data in both enterprise
and consumer applications, characterized by the fast
evolution of Big Data Systems, such as Key-Value stores,
Document stores, Graph stores, Spark, MapReduce/Hadoop,
Graph Computation Systems, Tree-Structured Databases, as
well as novel extensions to relational database systems.
At the same time, the second aspect, hardware
characteristics, is undergoing rapid changes, imposing
new challenges for the efficient utilization of hardware
resources. Recent trends include massive multi-core
processing systems, high performance co-processors, very
large main memory systems, persistent main memory, fast
networking components, big computing clusters, and large
data centers that consume massive amounts of energy.
Utilizing new hardware technologies for efficient Big
Data management is of urgent importance.
Active :
Existing approaches to solve data-intensive problems
often require data to be moved near the computing
resources for processing. These data movement costs can
be prohibitive for large data sets. One promising
solution is to bring virtualized computing resources
closer to data, whether it is at rest or in motion. The
premise of active systems is a new holistic
view of the system in which every data medium and every
communication channel become compute-enabled. The Active
workshop aims to study different aspects of the active
systems' stack, understand the impact of active
technologies (including but not limited to hardware
accelerators such as SSDs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs) on
different applications workloads over the lifecycle of
data, and revisit the interplay between algorithmic
modeling, compiler and programming languages,
virtualized runtime systems and environments, and
hardware implementations, for effective exploitation of
active technologies.
HardBD &
Active'21 : Both HardBD and
Active are interested in exploiting hardware
technologies for data-intensive systems. The aim of this
one-day joint workshop is to bring together researchers,
practitioners, system administrators, and others
interested in this area to share their perspectives on
exploiting new hardware technologies for data-intensive
workloads and big data systems, and to discuss and
identify future directions and challenges in this area.
The workshop aims at providing a forum for academia and
industry to exchange ideas through research and position
papers.

AI's Enormous Potential for Database Simplification
Sam Lightstone
CTO AI Strategy, IBM Data and AI
|
Abstract:
Research into self-managing databases exploded in the early 2000's with
sizeable corporate efforts from each of IBM, Microsoft and Oracle. In 2005 the
SMDB Workgroup was founded by Sam Lightstone and Guy Lohman to bring together
like minded innovators from industry and academia. Now, as we enter the era of
intelligent computing, AI offers itself as a catalyst for quantum gains in
database simplification. In this session Sam Lightstone will contrast the state
of SMDB technology of 2005 with today's emerging new potential for automation,
semantic simplification and handling new workloads.
Bio:
Sam Lightstone is IBM Chief Technology Officer for AI, IBM Fellow and a Master
Inventor in the IBM Data and AI group. He is also chair of the Data and AI
Technical Team, the working group of IBM's technical executives in the
division. He has been the founder and co-founder of several large-scale
initiatives including AI databases, next generation data warehousing, data
virtualization, autonomic computing for data systems, serverless cloud SQL
query, and cloud native database services. He co-founded the IEEE Data
Engineering Workgroup on Self-Managing Database Systems. Sam has more than 65
patents issued and pending and has authored 4 books and over 30 papers. Sam's
books have been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Spanish. In his spare
time he is an avid guitar player and fencer. His Twitter handle is

OtterTune: An Automatic Database Configuration Tuning Service
Andy Pavlo
Associate Professor, Carnegie Mellon University & Co-founder, OtterTune
|
Abstract:
Database management systems (DBMS) expose dozens of configurable knobs that
control their runtime behavior. Setting these knobs correctly for an
application's workload can improve the performance and efficiency of the DBMS.
But such tuning requires considerable efforts from experienced administrators,
which is not scalable for large DBMS fleets. This problem has led to research
on using machine learning (ML) to devise strategies to optimize DBMS knobs for
any application automatically. The OtterTune database tuning service from
Carnegie Mellon uses ML to generate and install optimized DBMS configurations.
OtterTune observes the DBMS's workload through its metrics and then trains
recommendation models that select better knob values. It then reuses these
models to tune other DBMSs more quickly. In this talk, I will present an
overview of OtterTune and discuss the challenges one must overcome to deploy an
ML-based service for DBMSs. I will also highlight the insights we learned from
real-world installations of OtterTune.
Bio:
Andy Pavlo is an Associate Professor of Databaseology in the Computer Science
Department at Carnegie Mellon University. His research interest is in database
management systems, specifically main memory systems, self-driving / autonomous
architectures, transaction processing systems, and large-scale data analytics.
At CMU, he is a member of the Database Group and the Parallel Data Laboratory.
He is also the co-founder and CEO of OtterTune.

Automatic Data Management and Storage Tiering
with Oracle Database In-Memory
Shasank Chavan
Vice President of the Data and In-Memory Technologies group, Oracle
|
Abstract:
Autonomous / Self-Driving Databases utilize machine learning techniques to
eliminate the manual labor associated with database tuning, security, backups,
updates, and other routine management tasks traditionally performed by DBAs.
This talk will focus specifically on how we implement a self-driving database
with Oracle's Database In-Memory product to automatically tune for query
optimization, memory management, storage management and data tiering. We will
first present Oracle's Database In-Memory architecture and various features
built for optimizing analytics and mixed workload performance, and then
describe in some detail the smarts we have to make it auto-performing in our
self-driving database.
Bio:
Shasank Chavan is the Vice President of the Data and In-Memory Technologies
group at Oracle. He leads an amazing team of brilliant engineers in the
Database organization who develop customer-facing, performance-critical
features for an In-Memory Columnar Store which, as Larry Ellison proclaimed,
"processes data at ungodly speeds". His team implements novel SIMD kernels and
hardware acceleration technology for blazing fast columnar data processing,
optimized data formats and compression technology for efficient in-memory
storage, algorithms and techniques for fast in-memory join and aggregation
processing, and optimized in-memory data access and storage solutions in
general. His team is currently hyper-focused on leveraging emerging hardware
technologies to build Oracle's next-generation, highly distributed, data
storage engine that powers the cloud. Shasank earned his BS/MS in Computer
Science at the University of California, San Diego. He has accumulated 20+
patents over a span of 22 years working on systems software technology.
