Database Kernels: Seamless Integration of Database Systems and Fast Storage via CXL
Summary: Replace NVMe block I/O with CXL-exposed Flash-backed memory to provide coherent host–device access and remove I/O indirection. Introduce Database Kernels (DBKs): device-resident, CXL-backed units that execute DB-centric computations on accesses, enabling offload of indexing, query and transactional primitives for higher efficiency and new heterogeneous DB architectures.
