Abstract: Despite the increase of memory capacity and CPU computing power, memory performance remains the bottleneck of in-memory database management systems due to ever-increasing data volumes and application demands. Because the scale of data workloads has out-paced traditional CPU caches and memory bandwidth, one can improve data movement from memory to computing units to improve performance in in-memory database scenarios. A near-memory database accelerator framework offloads data-intensive database operations via or to a near-memory computation engine. The database accelerator's system architecture can include a database accelerator software module/driver and a memory module with a database accelerator engine. An application programming interface (API) can be provided to support database accelerator functionality. Memory of the database accelerator can be directly accessible by the CPU.
