Data Management Systems on Future Hardware: Challenges and Opportunities

Hardware development is a major driver for the development of data management systems. For example, due to the increased capacity and low cost of main memory, data management systems have shifted from disk-based to in-memory systems. Recently, databases on emerging hardware have gained a lot of attractions in both academia and industry. A significant amount of research has been devoted to the design and implementation of high-performance hardware-conscious systems. We can summarize them into three main lines of research, mainly according to processor architectures.
