Description
Summary:Abstract Hardware techniques and environments underwent significant transformations in the field of information technology, represented by high-performance processors and hardware accelerators characterized by abundant heterogeneous parallelism, nonvolatile memory with hybrid storage hierarchies, and RDMA-enabled high-speed network. Recent hardware trends in these areas deeply affect data management and analysis applications. In this paper, we first introduce the development trend of the new hardware in computation, storage, and network dimensions. Then, the related research techniques which affect the upper data management system design are reviewed. Finally, challenges and opportunities are addressed for the key technologies of data management and analysis in new hardware environments.
