{"product_id":"9781680833249","title":"Main Memory Database Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith growing memory sizes and memory prices dropping by a factor of 10 every 5 years, data having a “primary home” in memory is now a reality. Main-memory databases eschew many of the traditional architectural pillars of relational database systems that optimized for disk-resident data. The result of these memory-optimized designs are systems that feature several innovative approaches to fundamental issues (e.g., concurrency control, query processing) that achieve orders of magnitude performance improvements over traditional designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis monograph provides an overview of recent developments in main-memory database systems. It covers five main issues and architectural choices that need to be made when building a high performance main-memory optimized database: data organization and storage, indexing, concurrency control, durability and recovery techniques, and query processing and compilation. The monograph focuses on four commercial and research systems: H-Store\/VoltDB, Hekaton, HyPer, and SAPHANA. These systems are diverse in their design choices and form a representative sample of the state of the art in main-memory database systems. It also covers other commercial and academic systems, along with current and future research trends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Now Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055740403952,"sku":"9781680833249","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781680833249_p0.jpg?v=1763690666","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781680833249","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
