COLT: Continuous On-Line Database Tuning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-tuning is a cost-effective and elegant solution to the important problem of configuring a database to the characteristics of the query load. Existing techniques operate in an off-line fashion, by choosing a fixed configuration that is tailored to a subset of the query load. The generated configurations therefore ignore any temporal patterns that may exist in the actual load submitted to the system. This demonstration introduces COLT (Continuous On-Line Tuning), a novel self-tuning framework that continuously monitors the incoming queries and adjusts the system configuration in order to maximize query performance. The key idea behind COLT is to gather performance statistics at different levels of detail and to carefully allocate profiling resources to the most promising candidate configurations. Moreover, COLT uses effective heuristics to regulate its own performance, lowering its overhead when the system is well-tuned, and being more aggressive when the workload shifts and it becomes necessary to re-tune the system. We present a specialization of COLT to the important problem of selecting an effective set of relational indices for the current query load. Our demonstration will use an implementation of our proposed framework in the PostgreSQL database system, showing the internal operation of COLT and the adaptive selection of indices as we vary the query load of the server.

متن کاملCOLT-Cancer: functional genetic screening resource for essential genes in human cancer cell lines
Genome-wide pooled shRNA screens enable global identification of the genes essential for cancer cell survival and proliferation and provide a 'functional genetic' map of human cancer to complement genomic studies. Using a lentiviral shRNA library targeting approximately 16,000 human genes and a newly developed scoring approach, we identified essential gene profiles in more than 70 breast, pancr...
متن کاملAdaptive Tuning of Model Predictive Control Parameters based on Analytical Results
In dealing with model predictive controllers (MPC), controller tuning is a key design step. Various tuning methods are proposed in the literature which can be categorized as heuristic, numerical and analytical methods. Among the available tuning methods, analytical approaches are more interesting and useful. This paper is based on a proposed analytical MPC tuning approach for plants can be appr...
متن کاملQUIET: Continuous Query-driven Index Tuning
Index tuning as part of database tuning is the task of selecting and creating indexes with the goal of reducing query processing times. However, in dynamic environments with various ad-hoc queries it is difficult to identify potential useful indexes in advance. In this demonstration, we present our tool QUIET addressing this problem. This tool “intercepts” queries and – based on a cost model as...
متن کاملOptimal aggregation of affine estimators
We consider the problem of combining a (possibly uncountably infinite) set of affine estimators in non-parametric regression model with heteroscedastic Gaussian noise. Focusing on the exponentially weighted aggregate, we prove a PAC-Bayesian type inequality that leads to sharp oracle inequalities in discrete but also in continuous settings. The framework is general enough to cover the combinati...
