  1. Enabling BITE:High-Performance Snapshots in a High-Level Cache Ross Shaull <rshaull@cs.brandeis.edu> Liuba Shrira <liuba@cs.brandeis.edu> Brandeis University Presented 2007-10-15 SOSP WiP session 2007

  2. Our Snapshot System X := Snapshot now Applications “time travel” in a past virtualized to look like present. Back-In-Time Execution (BITE) put Application put get Run on snapshot X

  3. But which cache? Our Approach: Cache Integration • Our approach • Virtualized • Crash consistent • Requires Write-Ahead Snapshot invariant P Q P Q snapshot snapshot snapshot P Q P Q R

  4. Best Level Snapshot System • High level • Database, file system • Leverage recovery • Delay writes • Why not lower level? • Difficult to achieve consistent application-requested snapshots • Sync from higher levels at snapshot declaration Application Database File System Volume Manager Controller

  5. Cost of WAS-Invariant • Prototype implemented in Berkeley DB 4.5.20 • 1.8 GB database; snap-1 • Writing due to WAS can be hidden • Uniform: about 1 to 1 (cache: 9994 dirty pages) • Highly skewed (99/1): 35 to 1 • Trickle to avoid slowing down checkpoint • Maintains WAS invariant because trickle before chkpt • Not end of story • Snapshot metadata is transactional • We are analyzing how these costs can be minimized in BDB

  6. Thanks • Sponsors of student scholarships!

  7. Without Cache Integration • On disk • Sync for consistency • Negotiate with application to allow progress to be made while syncing; worst case: quiescence P Q snapshot P Q R P Q snapshot
