ABSTRACT
This paper presents, QuickStore, a memory-mapped storage system for persistent C++ built on top of the EXODUS Storage Manager. QuickStore provides fast access to in-memory objects by allowing application programs to access objects via normal virtual memory pointers. The paper also presents the results of a detailed performance study using the OO7 benchmark. The study compares the performance of QuickStore with the latest implementation of the E programming language. These systems exemplify the two basic approaches (hardware and software) that have been used to implement persistence in object-oriented database systems. Both systems use the same underlying storage manager and compiler allowing us to make a truly apples-to-apples comparison of the hardware and software techniques.
