abstract:
While traditional disk-based database systems still play the majority role as the best practice, in-memory database models became increasingly popular recently in both academia and industry. Simply speaking, in-memory db refers to an entirely new storage model that permanently keeps and processes business data within main memory. Though migrating data from disk to memory avoids the I/O bottleneck and thus can naturally improve the performance, there are still lots of factors and issues that can affect the performance of in-memory query processing, which are of great interest from research perspective. In this collaboration project with SAP, we are exploring the challenges and opportunities of utilising in-memory database (SAP HANA) to store and query large scale moving object trajectories. In this talk, I will introduce our recent progress on this project including framework design, empirical findings and our considerations behind the design. Hopefully it can trigger some discussions and interest on this emerging area.
