  Abstract

In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on recent research exploiting Processing-In-Memory (PIM) to enhance the performance of Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMSs). PIM integrates In-Memory Processors (IMPs) near memory banks, allowing memory-intensive operations to leverage the high internal memory bandwidth and computational capabilities of IMPs. Given that many key operations of RDBMSs are memory-heavy and require a large number of frequent memory accesses, PIM has emerged as a promising solution for accelerating RDBMSs. We provide an overview of the key architectural characteristics of commodity PIM-enabled memory devices, examine how recent studies have applied PIM to accelerate RDBMSs, and explore potential research directions in PIM-accelerated RDBMSs.
