PmemStore

PmemStore is a forked project from Intel's pmemkv which is a local/embedded key-value datastore optimized for persistent memory.In addition to the origin pmemkv, PmemStore adds one more storage engine called PSKIPLIST to make it more suitable for supporting feature engineering/extraction workloads in AI applications. The persistent skiplist is firstly introduced in our VLDB'21 paper ("Optimizing In-memory Database Engine for AI-powered On-line Decision Augmentation Using Persistent Memory". Cheng Chen, Jun Yang, Mian Lu, Taize Wang, Zhao Zheng, Yuqiang Chen, Wenyuan Dai, Bingsheng He, Weng-Fai Wong, Guoan Wu, Yuping Zhao, Andy Rudoff). Please checkout the paper for more details.

Using PmemStore is similar to using pmemkv (See pmemkv README for more information.)

Submodule dependency

pskiplist

pskiplist is a submodule in PmemStore. It is a persistent and concurrent storage engine, backed by a skiplist implemented using Persistent Compare and Swap (PCAS). We maintain it in a separated repo because such low-level data structure implementation can be reused and integrated with other systems. Please checkout the repo for more information.

Building from Sources

Prerequisites

• Linux 64-bit (OSX and Windows are not yet supported)
• libpmem and libpmemobj, which are part of PMDK - Persistent Memory Development Kit 1.9.1
• libpmemobj-cpp - C++ PMDK bindings 1.12
• memkind - Volatile memory manager 1.8.0 (required by vsmap & vcmap engines)
• TBB - Thread Building Blocks (required by vcmap engine)
• RapidJSON - JSON parser 1.0.0 (required by libpmemkv_json_config helper library)
• Used only for testing:
  • pmempool - pmempool utility, part of PMDK
  • valgrind - tool for profiling and memory leak detection. pmem forked version with pmemchecktool is recommended, but upstream/original valgrind is also compatible (package valgrind-devel is required).
• Used only for development:
  • pandoc - markup converter to generate manpages
  • doxygen - tool for generating documentation from annotated C++ sources
  • graphviz - graph visualization software required by doxygen
  • perl - for whitespace checker script
  • clang format - to format and check coding style, version 9.0 is required

Building PmemStore and running tests

git clone https://github.com/4paradigm/pmemstorecd pmemstoremkdir ./buildcd ./buildcmake .. -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DENGINE_VCMAP=OFF -DENGINE_VSMAP=OFF -DENGINE_PSKIPLIST=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug		# run CMake, prepare Debug versionmake -j$(nproc)					# build everything

Run Tests

Modify tests/engines/pskiplist/default.cmake to specify your own pmem mounted path (default: /mnt/pmem0), then run:

ctest --output-on-failure -R pskiplist

More testcases will be added.

Community

PmemStore is developed by MemArk (https://memark.io/), which is a technical community focusing on empowering modern memory architecture evolution and its application optimization. MemArk is led by 4Paradigm (https://www.4paradigm.com/) and other sponsors (such as Intel).
