  • NVM-optimized Bepsilon-tree
Supervisor:   Sajad Karim
Abstract: Non-volatile memory (NVM) is a new class in the traditional storage hierarchy. The technologies in this class share the characteristics of primary and secondary storage. They provide access latency close to DRAM, are addressable from cache lines, offer much higher capacity than DRAM, and are non-volatile. NVM is also often referred to as a disruptive memory technology as it has invalidated the traditional programming paradigm because, contrary to the traditional model, where data structures are generally categorized into memory and storage resident data structures, NVM-bound data structures cover both the aspects and the linked intricacies. Moreover, there has been considerable research made to leverage the characteristics of NVM, and in particular to the task mentioned in this posting, several designs for the index structures (e.g. wB+-Tree, NV-Tree, FP-Tree, LB+-Tree) [4, 5, 6, 7] that are typical to key-value storage engines are presented. However, one of the key aspects that is not addressed in the mentioned literature is they do not consider the heterogeneity of the modern storage landscape. For example, they all present NVM-DRAM optimized B-trees and do not consider block devices like SSD and HDD. Furthermore, and to the best of our knowledge, no research has been made to optimize Bepsilon-tree [1, 2, 3] for NVM despite the fact it offers similar scan operations as other B-tree variants yet its inserts and deletes are an order of magnitude faster.
Goals and results:  The goal is to implement an NVM-optimized Bepsilon-tree. It includes reviewing the recent literature and proposing data structures for the internal and leaf nodes in the B?-tree that would leverage the characteristics of NVM. Moreover, our server is equipped with the NVM module from Intel® (Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory Modules), therefore, the proposed layouts should consider the characteristics of the module [8]. For example, the read and write latencies of the module are asymmetric where the reads are faster than the writes. Lastly, the proposed design has to be evaluated against the typical DRAM-based and disk-based Bepsilon-trees.
