GDlog is a GPU-accelerated deductive engine that aims to improve the performance of modern deductive database engines. These engines are used in various applications such as program analysis, social media mining, and business analytics. GDlog is built upon a novel data structure called the hash-indexed sorted array (HISA), which allows for efficient range querying and deduplication. The engine achieves significant performance improvements compared to prior systems, with runtime improvements of roughly 10x on large deductive-analytic workloads.
In traditional CPU-based deductive engines, recursive queries are evaluated using incrementalized (semi-naive) evaluation and nested loop joins over in-memory tables. However, these engines face scalability issues and performance challenges due to their design limitations. GDlog addresses these challenges by leveraging the parallelism and high-throughput capabilities of GPUs. It uses HISA as its tuple representation, which enables parallel insertion and leverages the massive throughput of GPUs.
To evaluate the performance of GDlog, the engine was compared against both CPU and GPU-based hash tables and Datalog engines. It was used to support a range of large-scale deductive queries, including reachability, same generation, and context-sensitive program analysis. The evaluation showed that GDlog achieves competitive performance with modern SIMD hash tables and outperforms prior work by a significant factor in runtime while offering a more favorable memory footprint.
The key contributions of GDlog include the development of the Hash-Indexed Sorted Array (HISA), a data structure that enables efficient range querying and deduplication. GDlog is a CUDA-based library that allows for high-throughput deductive analytics applications on the GPU. It leverages two novel strategies for Datalog on the GPU: eager buffer management and temporarily-materialized n-ary joins. The evaluation of GDlog demonstrates its performance as a high-throughput SIMD hash table and compares it to both CPU and GPU-based systems for deductive-analytic queries.
The implementation of GDlog involves several steps in the semi-naive evaluation process. These steps include maintaining indices on each joined relation, executing relational algebra kernels on the delta relation, removing duplicates in the new relation, and merging the delta of every relation with the full. GDlog uses a join operation that combines the benefits of hash and sorted joins, making it suitable for recursive query scenarios on GPUs. The join process involves serializing the outer relation and partitioning it into chunks, querying the inner relation's indexing hash table, and performing a scan of the sorted data array to generate join result tuples.
GDlog also employs two memory-for-time trade-offs in its implementation. The first trade-off is eager buffer management, which involves pre-allocating a larger buffer for merging delta and full relations to save time on buffer allocation in subsequent iterations. The second trade-off is the separation of the delta relation population into a distinct phase, allowing for efficient removal of duplicated tuples.
Overall, GDlog offers a GPU-accelerated solution for deductive analytics, achieving significant performance improvements compared to prior systems. Its use of the HISA data structure and novel strategies for Datalog on the GPU make it a promising tool for high-throughput deductive queries in various applications.
GDlog is a GPU-accelerated deductive engine designed to improve the performance of large-scale deductive analytic queries. It utilizes techniques such as semi-naive evaluation, indexing, and range querying to achieve optimal algorithmic complexity. The engine incorporates a novel data structure called HISA, which effectively leverages the massive parallelism available on modern GPUs.
One important aspect of GDlog is its memory management strategy. Before performing fixpoint checking, GDlog merges tuples within the delta relation into the full relation and removes tuples from the new relation. Allocating buffers efficiently is crucial for optimizing performance. GDlog introduces a memory management algorithm that determines the required buffer size based on the size of the full and delta relations. If the existing buffer is not large enough, GDlog suggests allocating a new buffer with a size equal to the sum of the full and delta relations. However, if the proposed size exceeds the available GPU memory, the algorithm gradually reduces the buffer size until it fits within the available memory. This proactive approach optimizes memory allocation for efficient evaluation.
In scenarios where the delta relation contains numerous tuples, the size of the delta relation tends to gradually decrease in the last few iterations towards the final fixpoint. During these tail iterations, creating buffers becomes a costly operation because the full relation contains a considerable number of tuples. To address this issue, GDlog introduces Eager Buffer Management, which reduces buffer allocation overhead during tail iterations. This optimization is particularly effective for queries characterized by long tail behavior, such as network analysis tasks. However, for queries with a short tail, it is advisable to disable this optimization to avoid unnecessary memory overhead.
In terms of parallel evaluation, GDlog employs two methods for dividing the join into sub-joins and allocating them across worker threads. The first approach partitions the join based on tuples in the outermost relation, while the second approach involves using a temporary materialized buffer in joins. The second approach is more suitable for GPU-based systems, as it aligns with the SIMD architecture of GPUs and eliminates idle threads caused by conditional branching. However, materialized temporary joins require extra memory space, creating a trade-off between space and time.
GDlog has been extensively evaluated and compared to existing CPU and GPU-based deductive engines. The evaluation includes well-established datalog queries and real-world datasets. The results demonstrate that GDlog consistently outperforms other engines, achieving significant speedup ratios. In particular, GDlog shows improvements of up to 10x on large-scale deductive analytic workloads compared to CPU-based engines. It also outperforms GPUJoin, a specialized engine for reachability queries, in terms of memory usage and avoiding out-of-memory errors.
The practicality of GDlog for program analysis is also demonstrated. GDlog is shown to deliver stable performance and significant speedup compared to CPU-based solutions in the context of context-sensitive program analysis queries. GDlog's efficient utilization of GPU parallelism makes it a promising option for high-precision program-analysis queries on extensive open-source projects.
In conclusion, GDlog is a GPU-accelerated deductive engine that leverages GPU parallelism to achieve significant performance improvements for large-scale deductive analytic queries. Its memory management strategy, Eager Buffer Management optimization, and efficient join algorithms contribute to its superior performance compared to existing CPU and GPU-based engines.
