Designing far memory data structures: think outside the box Aguilera et al., Therefore, if we want to make full use of one-sided far memory, we need to think carefully about the design of our data structures to make that access efficient. This makes it challenging to design effective far memory data structures. HotOS’19.

Improving the efficiency with which we can coordinate work across a collection of units (see the Universal Scalability Law ). With more nodes and more coordination comes more complexity, both in design and operation. Increasing the amount of work we can do on a single unit. This makes the whole system latency sensitive.

Complementing the hardware is the software on the RAE and in the cloud, and bridging the software on both ends is a bi-directional control plane. The challenge, then, is to be able to ingest and process these events in a scalable manner, i.e., scaling with the number of devices, which will be the focus of this blog post.

Scalability is a significant concern, as databases must handle growing data volumes and user demands while maintaining peak performance. Vertical scaling is also often discussed, which involves increasing the resources of a single server, which can have limitations in hardware capabilities and become costly as demands grow.
