In-Memory Data Management for Consumer Transactions The Times-Ten Approach Times-Ten Team   View Paper (PDF)     View Slides (HTML)   Return to Industrial Session: Database Architectures Abstract TimesTen Performance Software is a company dedicated to high-performance data management. TimesTen TM , the company's flagship product, is an in-memory relational database. The concept of managing an entire database in main memory has been researched and studied for over fifteen years [1-7], and the benefits of such an approach have been well-understood in certain domains, such as telecommunications, for at least as long. But it is only recently, with decreasing memory prices and with the availability of 64-bit operating systems, that the size restrictions on in-memory databases have been removed. In-memory data management has become available for many more applications that are in dire need of high performance. This paper examines the data management requirements of applications targeted at consumers and how TimesTen addresses these requirements. References Note: References link to DBLP on the Web.
