Conversa LSD: Automatic Suggestion of Efficiency Improvements on Database Routines

Olá Pessoal,

hoje, às 16h, Dimas Cassimiro, aluno de mestrado em ciência da computação da UFCG orientado pelos professores Carlos Eduardo Pires e Tiago Massoni, gentilmente apresentará sua pesquisa sobre como automatizar a detecção de melhorias no desempenho de rotinas de banco de dados. 



Assim falou Dimas sobre seu trabalho -- "An efficient and common way to allow data manipulation in databases by applications is implementing database routines. However, if such implementations present inefficient programming logic or data manipulation, excessive delays are provided to the client application layers. Such delays can cause, among other problems, expressive financial losses. To solve this problem, the database routines must undergo a tuning process. Since the tuning process involves manual analysis of source code, its implementation usually becomes too much expensive. In order to reduce the cost of the tuning process, we present an approach based on static analysis of source code to perform automatic detection of potential efficiency improvements on database routines."

Antes da palestra haverá um coredump (Linux Tracing Capabilities) que será apresentado por Thiago Emmanuel.
