Rethinking Database Algorithms for Phase Change Memory

Summary: Develops analytic metrics for PCM's asymmetric read/write costs, energy and wear, showing DRAM-optimized algorithms poorly match PCM. Designs PCM-aware B+-tree and hash-join variants that reduce writes, energy and latency while improving endurance. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
