SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING PROCESSING OF A QUERY TO A RELATIONAL DATABASE WITH SOFTWARE-BASED NEAR-DATA PROCESSING (NDP) TECHNOLOGY

摘要

A system for enhancing processing of a query to a relational database, the system comprising a server associated with a database comprising a plurality of tuples. The server includes processing circuitry for executing a query engine configured to receive a query comprising one or more operators, and optionally, one or more conditions relating to one or more of a plurality of columns constituting each of the plurality of tuples. The server is further configured for propagating the operator(s), and optionally, the condition(s) to a storage engine configured to further propagate the operator(s) and optionally the condition(s) to a memory management module, which is adjusted to process the plurality of tuples retrieved from a storage medium storing the database and return each complying tuple of the plurality of tuples which complies with the operator(s) and optionally the condition(s). The complying tuples received from the storage engine are then output.
