The rapid development of positioning technology, wireless communication and mobile devices has given rise to the exciting Location Based Services (LBS) thus significantly influencing existing navigational procedures. Motivated by the increasing need to search efficiently through a huge number of service locations (e.g. restaurants, hotels, shops, and more), this paper presents an efficient spatial index QR-tree, a hybrid index structure of Quadtree and R-tree, instead of the exhaustive search to improve the performance in response to user queries. QR-tree consists of two levels: the upper level is a Quadtree residing in the main memory which partitions the data space and the lower level is disk-resident R-trees assigned to the subspaces resulting from the partitioning process. Computational experiments show that the hybrid index structure is able to reduce query response time by up to 30% and achieve significant improvement on data update over the conventional indexing methods, thereby providing an effective option for efficient navigation services.

Mass multimedia data with geographical information (geo-multimedia) are collected and stored on the Internet due to the wide application of location-based services (LBS). How to find the high-level semantic relationship between geo-multimedia data and construct efficient index is crucial for large-scale geo-multimedia retrieval. To combat this challenge, the paper proposes a deep cross-modal hashing framework for geo-multimedia retrieval, termed as Triplet-based Deep Cross-Modal Retrieval (TDCMR), which utilizes deep neural network and an enhanced triplet constraint to capture high-level semantics. Besides, a novel hybrid index, called TH-Quadtree, is developed by combining cross-modal binary hash codes and quadtree to support high-performance search. Extensive experiments are conducted on three common used benchmarks, and the results show the superior performance of the proposed method.

One approach to achieving high performance in the DBMS in the critical application is to store the database in main memory rather than on disk. One can then design new data structures and algorithms oriented towards increasing the efficiency of the main memory database -MMDB. In this paper we present some results on index structures from an ongoing study of MMDB. We propose a new index structure, the T-tail Tree. We give the main algorithm of the T-tail Tree and the performance of these algorithms. Our results indicate that T-tail Tree provides good overall performance in main memory.

Through Silicon Via (TSV) technology is capable meeting effective, compact, high density, high integration, and high-performance requirements. In high-frequency applications, with the rapid development of 5G and millimeter-wave radar, the TSV interposer will become a competitive choice for radio frequency system-in-package (RF SIP) substrates. This paper presents a redundant TSV interconnect design for high resistivity Si interposers for millimeter-wave applications. To verify its feasibility, a set of test structures capable of working at millimeter waves are designed, which are composed of three pieces of CPW (coplanar waveguide) lines connected by single TSV, dual redundant TSV, and quad redundant TSV interconnects. First, HFSS software is used for modeling and simulation, then, a modified equivalent circuit model is established to analysis the effect of the redundant TSVs on the high-frequency transmission performance to solidify the HFSS based simulation. At the same time, a failure simulation was carried out and results prove that redundant TSV can still work normally at 44 GHz frequency when failure occurs. Using the developed TSV process, the sample is then fabricated and tested. Using L-2L de-embedding method to extract S-parameters of the TSV interconnection. The insertion loss of dual and quad redundant TSVs are 0.19 dB and 0.46 dB at 40 GHz, respectively.

Semantic Web has recently gained traction with the use of Linked Open Data (LOD) on the Web. Although numerous state-of-the-art methodologies, standards, and technologies are applicable to the LOD cloud, many issues persist. Because the LOD cloud is based on graph-based resource description framework (RDF) triples and the SPARQL query language, we cannot directly adopt traditional techniques employed for database management systems or distributed computing systems. This paper addresses how the LOD cloud can be efficiently organized, retrieved, and evaluated. We propose a novel hybrid approach that combines the index and live exploration approaches for improved LOD join query performance. Using a two-step index structure combining a disk-based 3D R*-tree with the extended multidimensional histogram and flash memory-based k-d trees, we can efficiently discover interlinked data distributed across multiple resources. Because this method rapidly prunes numerous false hits, the performance of join query processing is remarkably improved. We also propose a hot-cold segment identification algorithm to identify regions of high interest. The proposed method is compared with existing popular methods on real RDF datasets. Results indicate that our method outperforms the existing methods because it can quickly obtain target results by reducing unnecessary data scanning and reduce the amount of main memory required to load filtering results.

AbstractAfter the introduction of Persistent Memory in the form of Intel’s Optane DC Persistent Memory on the market in 2019, it has found its way into manifold applications and systems. As Google and other cloud infrastructure providers are starting to incorporate Persistent Memory into their portfolio, it is only logical that cloud applications have to exploit its inherent properties. Persistent Memory can serve as a DRAM substitute, but guarantees persistence at the cost of compromised read/write performance compared to standard DRAM. These properties particularly affect the performance of index structures, since they are subject to frequent updates and queries. However, adapting each and every index structure to exploit the properties of Persistent Memory is tedious. Hence, we require a general technique that hides this access gap, e.g., by using DRAM caching strategies. To exploit Persistent Memory properties for analytical index structures, we propose selective caching. It is based on a mixture of dynamic and static caching of tree nodes in DRAM to reach near-DRAM access speeds for index structures. In this paper, we evaluate selective caching on the OLAP-optimized main-memory index structure Elf, because its memory layout allows for an easy caching. Our experiments show that if configured well, selective caching with a suitable replacement strategy can keep pace with pure DRAM storage of Elf while guaranteeing persistence. These results are also reflected when selective caching is used for parallel workloads.
