Cache-conscious indices such as the CSB^＋-tree are shown to outperform conventional main memory indices such as the AVL-tree and the T-tree. This paper proposes a cacheconscious version of the T-tree, CST-tree, defined according to the cache-conscious definition. To separate the keys within a node into two parts, the CST-tree can gain higher cache hit ratio.展开更多

Indexing technique is a key component of MMDBs. Unfortunately, the predominant indexes -B^＋-trees and T-trees -- have been shown to utilize cache poorly, which triggers the development of many cache-conscious indexes, such as CSB^＋-trees and pB^＋-trees. Most of these cache-conscious indexes are variants of conventional B^＋-trees, and have better cache performance than B^＋-trees. In this paper, we develop a novel J^＋-tree index, inspired by the Judy structure which is an associative array data structure, and propose a more cacheoptimized index -- Prefetching J^＋-tree （pJ^＋-tree）, which applies prefetching to J^＋-tree to accelerate range scan operations. The J^＋-tree stores all the keys in its leaf nodes and keeps the reference values of leaf nodes in a Judy structure, which makes J^＋-tree not only hold the advantages of Judy （such as fast single value search） but also outperform it in other aspects. For example, J^＋-trees can achieve better performance on range queries than Judy. The pJ^＋-tree index exploits prefetching techniques to further improve the cache behavior of J^＋-trees and yields a speedup of 2.0 on range scans. Compared with B^＋-trees, CSB^＋-trees, pB^＋-trees and T-trees, our extensive experimental Study shows that pJ^＋-trees can provide better performance on both time （search, scan, update） and space aspects.展开更多
