  • Patent number: 11194625
    Abstract: For one embodiment of the present invention, methods and systems for accelerating data operations with efficient memory management in native code and native dynamic class loading mechanisms are disclosed. In one embodiment, a data processing system comprises memory and a processing unit coupled to the memory. The processing unit is configured to receive input data, to execute a domain specific language (DSL) for a DSL operation with a native implementation, to translate a user defined function (UDF) into the native implementation by translating user defined managed software code into native software code, to execute the native software code in the native implementation, and to utilize a native memory management mechanism for the memory to manage object instances in the native implementation.

  • Publication number: 20200301898
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for accelerating Big Data operations by utilizing subgraph templates for a hardware accelerator of a computational storage device. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises performing a query with a dataflow compiler, performing a stage acceleration analyzer function including executing a matching algorithm to determine similarities between sub-graphs of an application program and unique templates from an available library of templates; and selecting at least one template that at least partially matches the sub-graphs with the at least one template being associated with a linear set of operators to be executed sequentially within a stage of the Big Data operations.

  • Publication number: 20200081841
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for a cache architecture for accelerating operations of a column-oriented database management system. In one example, a hardware accelerator for data stored in columnar storage format comprises at least one decoder to generate decoded data, a cache controller coupled to the at least one decoder. The cache controller comprising a store unit to store data in columnar format, cache admission policy hardware for admitting data into the store unit including a next address while a current address is being processed, and a prefetch unit for prefetching data from memory when a cache miss occurs.

  • Publication number: 20190392002
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for accelerating big data operations by utilizing subgraph templates. In one example, a data processing system includes a data processing system comprising a hardware processor and a hardware accelerator coupled to the hardware processor. The hardware accelerator is configured with a compiler of an accelerator functionality to generate an execution plan, to generate computations for nodes including subgraphs in a distributed system for an application program based on the execution plan, and to execute a matching algorithm to determine similarities between the subgraphs and unique templates from an available library of templates.
