Search Update Optimization of a B^+Tree in a Hardware Aided Semantic Web Database System

Dennis Heinrich, Stefan Werner, Christopher Blochwitz, Thilo Pionteck, Sven Groppe

Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid architecture for accelerating search and update operations on Semantic Web indices. This database system uses a B^+-tree index structure distributed in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and a CPU-based host system. The index is divided into two parts. The host system stores the values and the keys of the lower levels of the B^+-tree while a certain amount of the frequently accessed levels including the tree root is stored in the FPGAs internal and attached memory. Inside the FPGA we accelerate search operations by exploiting the parallel nature of the FPGA. By this, update operations can benefit from the speed up of their necessary searches. Furthermore, we estimate the performance based on the given experiments in a worst case scenario.
