Abstract:
In a main storage database system the primary copy of all data resides permanently in primary (semiconductor) memory. A major problem for such systems is crash recovery, i.e., ensuring that transactions are atomic and durable in spite of main memory's volatility. In this paper we study several possible crash recovery mechanisms and analyze their impact on performance.
