TLDR
In this article, several operating system services are examined with a view toward their applicability to support of database management functions, including buffer pool management, file system, scheduling, process management, and interprocess communication.Abstract:
Several operating system services are examined with a view toward their applicability to support of database management functions. These services include buffer pool management; the file system; scheduling, process management, and interprocess communication; and consistency control.read more

Towards Eco-friendly Database Management Systems.
Willis Lang,Jignesh M. Patel +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents two concrete techniques that can be used by a DBMS to directly manage the energy consumption, and shows that PVC can reduce the processor energy consumption by 49% of the original consumption while increasing the response time by only 3%.

The design and implementation of INGRES
TL;DR: The currently operational (March 1976) version of the INGRES database management system is described in this article, which gives a relational view of data, supports two high level nonprocedural data sublanguages, and runs as a collection of user processes on top of the UNIX operating system for Digital Equipment Corporation PDP 11/40, 11/45, and 11/70 computers.

Organization and maintenance of large ordered indices
Rudolf Bayer,E. McCreight +1 more
TL;DR: The index organization described allows retrieval, insertion, and deletion of keys in time proportional to logk I where I is the size of the index and k is a device dependent natural number such that the performance of the scheme becomes near optimal.

On the duality of operating system structures
Hugh C. Lauer,Roger M. Needham +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that these two categories are duals of each other and that a system which is constructed according to one model has a direct counterpart in the other, and the principal conclusion is that neither model is inherently preferable.
