Overbeck, Ludger C.Schmidt, Karsten2018-01-102018-01-1020112011https://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/11606We present an approach to adequately consider short-term memory consumers when using self-tuning buffer techniques. For instance, sort operations often need (large) amounts of memory but only for a short time. Moreover, certain operators, e.g., joins, require (lots of) memory to produce results that are retrieved only once. Unfortunately, most traditional self-tuning techniques fail to observe those peaks, as they need to monitor a system for a while before tuning it, which is often too late.BufferI/O reductionMemory allocationSelf-tuningShort-term memory consumerSortText/Journal Article1610-1995
