Research plan – LSRT Consortium

Targets

• Correctness approval Vs. Sybase database.

• Implementation of a validation scenario with TTI database.

• Demo preparations and participation

Correctness approvalTargets: validate the consistency of the LSRT database

Execution: This evaluation will be done by comparing the LSRT database to the commercial Sybase by comparing the results under traffic.

Testing environment: with the following capabilities: (1) Traffic generation that will generate load on both databases according to parameters

(2) Comparator process that will compare the results of the two processes and will report after comparing the databases if the databases are equal or not.

Environment •Traffic generator. The traffic generator is responsible to generate traffic according to predefined parameters. The user can control the traffic pattern like the number of transactions per second, the number of transactions in every batch etc.

•Sybase. The Sybase engine used in this test is the same database engine used by TTI.

Environment cont.

•LSRT database. The LSRT database is the database engine developed during this research in the Technion. The purpose of this test is to prove that this engine is consistent with Sybase.

•Comparator. The comparator is responsible for the logical checks of the two databases. As both engines run the same set of transactions, the comparator will check the physical content of the disk and will report on any discrepancies.

Research Targets

•Proving correctness and completeness

•Elementary integration with TTI

•Demo preparations and participation

Correctness and Completeness Will be performed in 3 phases

Construction of the basic environment and the development of the first version of the transactions generator

This phase include the integration of the LSRT database engine developed in the Technion to one unified system. It also includes an upgrade of the Transaction generator capabilities

Phase 2

Phase 3

This phase includes the integration from the comparator with the capabilities to check the differences between the LSRT database engine developed in the Technion and Sybase.
