Efficient databases for flash memory
This project will bring significant benefits to Australia. It will place Australia at the fore-front of the emerging field of flash memory databases. The lack of prior research in this field, coupled with the significant performance benefits of flash memory, means this project will make significant breakthroughs in this frontier technology. The algorithms developed will be directly incorporated into a state-of-the-art open source database and disseminated throughout the international community, thereby boosting Australias international research reputation. The database developed will significantly increase the speed of large database servers as well as bring significant energy savings to databases running on small portable devices.
