Abstract

This work presents a co-design methodology for the definition of ad-hoc HW/SW architectures for modern DBMSs. The main goals of such a methodology are: to analyze the DBMS specification in order to identify the operators that could benefit from ad-hoc executors, to explore the solutions design space, and to define the architecture that optimize the relevant design metrics (e.g. performance, power, cost, etc.) depending on the reference target (e.g. handheld PC, DB server, smartcard, etc.). A meta-example is presented to give the flavour on how such a methodology could work when supported by the proper toolchain.
