Abstract
Real-time analytics has gained more visibility in recent years. Instead of relying on historical data for decision making, some business intelligence applications demand analysis on fresh data to gain critical insights, highlighting the rise of mixed Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) workloads, which are coined Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP)  workloads. The OLTP workload is characterized by short-lived transactions, where data is stored in a row-oriented database. The OLAP workload consists of long-running, scan-heavy, ad-hoc queries, where data is stored in a column-oriented layout. The OLTP and OLAP workloads have conflicting needs for latency and throughput. No single physical layout fits the hybrid nature of HTAP workloads. In this project, we explore hardware and software co-design to accelerate HTAP workloads.
