Christian Dietrich presented the paper Cloud-Native Database Systems and Unikernels: Reimagining OS Abstractions for Modern Hardware [Vision] at the high-ranking VLDB 2024 conference in Guangzhou, China. The paper discusses the use of specialized OS kernels, particularly unikernels, in cloud-native database systems. The paper examines how unikernels, with their simplified architecture and direct hardware access, can improve DBMS performance. It also explores opportunities for revisiting traditional APIs, opening the way for co-designed, high-performance systems.
