IBM DB2 with BLU Acceleration provides several key benefits for analytical workloads: 1) It is easy to implement and maintain, requiring only the creation of tables and loading of data. 2) It provides extreme data compression and column-oriented data storage for improved performance and reduced storage needs. 3) It utilizes several techniques like data skipping, multi-processor parallelism, and Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) CPU instructions to further accelerate performance.

8. Accélérateur BLU: Facile à mettre en œuvre et à administrer
 Set one registry variable: DB2_WORKLOAD=ANALYTICS
-
Then create the database to get optimal settings for an analytic environment optimized to your hardware
It’s still just DB2: use traditional storage, utilities, SQL, application interfaces, and so on
 Now just “load and go”
-
Compression automatically done and statistics automatically collected
No need for indexes, partitions, MQTs (materialized views), MDCs, hints, statistical views, etc.
Underlying structures that support BLU are created and updated automatically
 Ongoing maintenance is also minimal
-

9. Accélérateur BLU: Extrême compression des données
 Massive compression with approximate Huffman (frequency-based) encoding
-
Most frequent values encoded with fewest bits
Extremely effective since all data in the column are the same data type
Map entire values directly to column dictionary codes by both table and page levels
 Register-friendly encoding greatly improves efficiency
-
Encoded values are packed into bits matching the CPU register length
Requires fewer I/Os and CPU cycles as well as better memory utilization
 Encoded values do not need to be decompressed during evaluation
-

Predicates and joins work directly on (actionable) encoded values
(Predicate examples: =, <>,<, >, >=, <=, between, etc.)

11. Accélérateur BLU: Data Skipping
 Automatic detection of large sections of data that do not qualify for a query and can be ignored
 Order of magnitude savings in all of I/O, RAM, and CPU
 No DBA action to define or use – truly invisible

BLU Acceleration builds on traditional multi-core parallelism
Multi-core parallelism is a combination of Data and Functional parallelism
Data parallelism assigns dynamic partitions to retrieve data from disk
Functional parallelism divides queries into multiple parts by function

13. Accélérateur BLU: Accélération CPU SIMD
 “Single Instruction Multiple Data “ (SIMD) CPU design:
-
Performs the same operation on multiple data elements simultaneously
 Various CPUs have built-in instructions to perform SIMD
-
Your hardware already has this capability - BLU Acceleration simply exploits it (128-bit register usage is
maximized as well)
BLU Acceleration has been tested to perform on:
-
13
AIX on Power - best performance on Power 7
Linux 64-bit on Intel / AMD - best performance on Intel Nehalem or better

14. Accélérateur BLU: Cache mémoire intelligent
 New algorithms cache in RAM effectively
 High percent of interesting data fits in memory
-
We leave the interesting data in memory with the new algorithms
RAM
 Data can be larger than RAM
-
No need to ensure all data fits in memory
Optimization for in memory and I/O efficiency
Near optimal caching
