USENIX’s LISA conference is the premier event for topics in production system engineering. Another exciting change for 2018: LISA is now a 3-day event, rather than 6 days; check out the Announcement of Changes to Future LISA Conferences for more details.

We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc. Jim Mauro and Allan Packer visited on rotation from New Jersey, and Adelaide Australia, and worked out how to produce a database sizing guide for Oracle Financials, which I wrote up and published. Jim also joined the database performance team.

Seeing is believing: a client-centric specification of database isolation , Crooks et al., Last week we looked at Elle , which detects isolation anomalies by setting things up so that the inner workings of the database, in the form of the direct serialization graph (DSG), can be externally recovered. A motivating example.

USENIX is a nonprofit organisation committed to making content and research freely available – both conference proceedings and the recorded presentations of their events. Without in-person conferences this year, income is down and events are under threat. Once the database was restored to five replicas, we reconfigured back.

The Morning Paper

SEPTEMBER 19, 2019

There were so many interesting papers at the conference this year though that I haven’t been able to cover nearly as many as I would like. MongoDB is an important database, and this paper explains the tunable (per-operation) consistency models that MongoDB provides and how they are implemented under the covers. Industry papers.
