Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Pointer swizzling improves the performance of OODBMSs by reducing the number of table lookups. However, the object replacement incurs the unswizzling overhead. In this paper, we propose a new pointer swizzling strategy, the dynamic indirect pointer swizzling (DIPS). DIPS dynamically applies pointer swizzling techniques in order to reduce the overhead of unswizzling. DIPS uses the temporal locality information which is gathered by the object buffer manager. The information is used to select the object to whose pointers the pointer swizzling techniques are applied and to dynamically bind the pointer swizzling techniques using the virtual function mechanism. We show the efficiency of the proposed strategy through experiments over various object buffer sizes and workloads. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
