Another approach to solving the small write problem that bears a strong resemblance to logging is the database cache technique [Elkhardt84] and the more recent Disk Caching Disk (DCD) Hu96] In both of these approaches, writes are written to a separate logging device, instead of being written back to the actual file system. Then, at some later point when the file system disk is not busy, the blocks are transferred back. This is ....

Our approach is based on a new hierarchical disk I O architecture called DCD (Disk Caching Disk) that we have recently invented [1, 2, 8] DCD converts small requests into large ones before writing data to the disk. A similar approach has been successfully used in database systems [9]. Simulation results show that DCD has the potential for drastically improving write performance (for both synchronous and asynchronous writes) with very low additional cost. We have designed and implemented a DCD device driver for Sun s Solaris operating system. Measured performance results show ....

In spite of extensive buffer management studies in traditional, non real time database frameworks [18, 35, 19, 12, 17], not much is reported in real time database system (RTDBS) contexts. In all, we were able to identify three papers [7, 26, 24] that report priority cognizant buffer management algorithms. Of these three papers, the work reported in [24] is the only one that considers a real time context. The ....

Since after image shadow paging always writes pages to new disk blocks, the original clustering of the blocks may be lost. 18 The DataSafe is a page log based mechanism, based on the DB cache [EB84], which ensures the recoverability of a persistent store to a consistent state after system failure. Reads and writes are performed on faulted versions of persistent store pages held in volatile storage. The mechanism avoids writing non melded pages of data back to the persistent store and thus ....

....result is that almost 100 of the time taken to perform a snapshot can be attributed to writing modified object data to the log. In contrast, the cost of snapshot operations in stores based on shadow paging can easily be dominated by the overhead of writing back the meta data [6] Many systems [5, 8, 15], technically known as log based systems, store objects in a fixed location on disk and use a log to increase the efficiency of snapshot operations by writing data sequentially rather than randomly as would otherwise be required. The data written to the log is copied to the appropriate disk ....

A number of different techniques have been used to provide resilience in persistent systems including: 1. Shadow paged stores [40] 10] 2. Log based stores [27, 42, 58, 60], and, 3.

Finally, page level redo has performance advantages over higher level redo in that no complex operation processing is necessary during a warmstart; page writes are cheap in terms of both CPU and I O costs. Multi Level Logging For the L0 base recovery, we have chosen the DB Cache method [EB84] as an appropriate implementation mechanism. This choice has been made for the following reasons: 1) The DB Cache method provides subtransaction atomicity (and persistence) at low costs, by combining an in memory workspace concept for L0 undo with sequential after image logging for redo.

....1) The DB Cache method provides subtransaction atomicity (and persistence) at low costs, by combining an in memory workspace concept for L0 undo with sequential after image logging for redo. For each subtransaction, the after images are atomically written to the log file, called the safe in [EB84], by including the subtransaction ID in each after image and setting a special flag in the last one. This technique and the policy not to write back dirty pages to the database before the end of an L1 subtransaction ensure the atomicity of high level (subtrans) actions. 2) Since the DB Cache ....

....model. The incorporation of transaction models in persistent programming languages remains an open topic of research. We are not directly concerned with that issue here, and merely remark that our recovery model could be extended to incoporate transactions similarly to the database cache #Elhardt and Bayer 1984#, for which several transaction models exist. Like our system, the database cache was designed for fast transaction commit and rapid recovery after a crash. # 7 3.

These methods provide many specific techniques for ensuring transaction atomicity and durability, including write ahead logging, the do undo redo paradigm, forcing log records at commit, forcing pages at commit, and so on [2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 14], and much of this work has found its way into textbooks [1, 6] In addition, general methods exist for undoing nested transactions [16] and multi level transactions [10, 17, 18] We focus on redo recovery. This technique starts at some point in the log and reads to the end of the log. As it ....

....3 and the write order problem is solved since the pages can be installed in any order. Only the redo test poses a problem. One example of page oriented operations is afterimage writes which have empty read sets and singlepage write sets. This single page write might write to the entire page [3] or to selected records or bytes on the page [2, 4] These methods differ in the tradeoff they make between log record size and the need to access a page before replaying the operation during recovery. These operations are always applicable, and hence the redo test can always return true. Another ....

We expect that logically storing the log information with the segments, but recording changes physically using techniques such as the database cache [15, 33], will help overcome the potential performance problems. In summary, the Mneme store design includes a basic transaction facility, a transaction extension facility, and support for crash resiliency.

....contiguously. Since only a single seek is performed to write out these dirty blocks, the per write overhead is much closer to that of a sequential disk access than to that of a random disk access. Taking advantage of this for transaction processing is similar to the database cache discussed in [4]. The database cache technique writes pages sequentially to a cache, typically on disk. As pages in this cache need to be replaced, they are written back to the actual database, which resides on a conventional file system. In a heavily used database, writing from the cache to the database can ....

....and the rest of T executes as though the transaction was going through its prefetch phase; 2) When a transaction s execution phase is interrupted, it releases all the data items allocated to it and discards all the changes done to these data items. A variation of the scheme proposed in [7] can be used to accomplish this. In our case, a transaction makes changes only to copies of the data pages and discards the copies if its execution phase terminates prematurely. Thus, in some cases, a transaction may go through the prefetch phase multiple times. Knowing the elapsed time for ....

The DB Cache is chosen as a basis for an alternative mechanism since its characteristics vary widely with those of AISP.

The work on recovery in MLT ( 22] using a DB cache ([8]) discusses an alternative. The combination of a no steal policy and a stable store (in addition to the StableDB) enables transaction atomicity without logging.
