Abstract

Many modern applications store and process datasets much larger than the main memory of even state-of-the-art high-end machines. Thus massive and dynamically changing datasets often need to be stored in data structures on external storage devices, and in such cases the Input/Output (or I/O) communication between internal and external memory can become a major performance bottleneck. In this paper we survey recent advances in the development of worst-case I/O-efficient external memory data structures.
