A new class of non-volatile, solid-state memories (e.g., phase-change memory, spin-torque MRAMs, and the memristor) are emerging that promise to revolutionize the way that computer systems store and access data. While these memory offer significant promise they will also require us to re-engineer many parts of existing computing systems. No where is this more critical than in database systems, where overall throughput (in terms of transactions per seconds) is closely tied to the performance of the underlying storage system and the optimizations that have been applied in software. This project is analyzing the implications for these new memories on database systems and devising now hardware and software mechanisms to improve performance, reduce energy consumption, and improve reliability.The potential impacts of these optimizations is wide-reaching. Database (in various forms) constitute the heart of the cloud computing infrastructure that supports many of the "killer apps" that are driving technologies forward. Leveraging these new technologies, will make it cheaper, easier, and greener to implement existing applications and will enable new applications that are not currently possible.

一类新的非易失性固态存储器（例如，相变存储器、自旋力矩MRAM和忆阻器）正在出现，它们有望彻底改变计算机系统存储和访问数据的方式。 虽然这些内存提供了巨大的希望，但它们也要求我们重新设计现有计算系统的许多部分。 这一点在数据库系统中最为关键，因为数据库系统的总体吞吐量（以每秒事务数表示）与底层存储系统的性能以及软件中应用的优化密切相关。 本项目分析这些新存储器对数据库系统的影响，并设计新的硬件和软件机制来提高性能，降低能耗，提高可靠性。这些优化的潜在影响是广泛的。 数据库（各种形式）构成了云计算基础设施的核心，支持许多推动技术发展的“杀手级应用程序”。 利用这些新技术，将使实现现有应用程序更便宜，更容易，更环保，并将启用目前不可能的新应用程序。
