My #1 PhD student @butro successfully completed his PhD defense. Thanks to the committee (Jignesh Patel billions of packets Sam Madden). Matt's thesis is on accelerating databases with eBPF (telemetry, proxies, OLTP stores). You have 60 days to hire him. Expect fierce competition.

I am excited to announce that I will start my PhD in database systems at Wisconsin DB Group (@wiscdb.bsky.social) and work with Xiangyao Yu beginning Fall 2024! I'm super grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way :)

Here is a short video from my recent interview with CMU School of Computer Science's media team on the one year anniversary of the infamous Jeopardy! "matrix" scandal: instagram.com/reel/C6Y5SCPrF…

We are proud to release the first major version of DuckDB, v1.0.0, codenamed "Snow Duck". This version is a culmination of almost six years of research and development. Today we are shipping an innovative database system with a backwards-compatible storage format. Check out our

It took three years to finish, but our follow-up to the 2006 "What Goes Around Comes Around" is finally out! Stonebraker and I examine the last 20 years in databases and discuss why relational databases + SQL will continue to remain on top. 📄PDF: db.cs.cmu.edu/papers/2024/wh…

Tyler Hillery We have three more bombs dropping this month from Wan Shen Lim (@wslim.bsky.social) + Sam Arch 🇦🇺 + William Zhang. Abigale Kim (@abigalekim.bsky.social) just submitted her VLDB paper last week too. It's going to be a blow out year.

Video of Sam Arch 🇦🇺 's talk from NYC Systems August 2024 is now up! Dear UDFs, I Broke Up With You, But Now I'm Ready To Give You A Second Chance. Will You Take Me Back? Sincerely, SQL youtube.com/watch?v=XMIEkn…

VLDB'24 Paper #1: Collecting training data for ML models with DBs is $$$/slow. Wanshen Li's Boot framework uses PostgreSQL extensions to cutoff redundant queries. Offline training goes from weeks to hours! • Code: github.com/lmwnshn/boot • Paper: x.com/pvldb/status/1…

This speaks to me: it’s the essence of building hard things that take time to have impact, but then matter in a big way - you have to love the process, not just the outcome!

I am flying to the Bay Area to give talks about my new VLDB 2025 paper on UDFs with Andy Pavlo (@andypavlo.bsky.social) and Jignesh Patel. With our new technique (UDF outlining), queries run up to 1000× faster than FROID. The paper will drop soon. 9/10 Databricks 9/11  UC Berkeley 9/12 #HTAPSummit2024

The UDF world tour continues. This week, I'm stopping at UW Madison, Microsoft's Gray Systems Lab, and The University of Washington. See you all there. 10/24 Wisconsin DB Group (@wiscdb.bsky.social) 10/25 Microsoft Gray Systems Lab 10/25 uwdb

The latest paper from the #1 CMU-DB PhD student Sam Arch 🇦🇺's is wild compilation DB magic! He automatically makes UDFs run 300x faster on Microsoft SQL Server and 1.3x faster on DuckDB. Code: github.com/SamArch27/PRISM Paper: vldb.org/pvldb/vol18/p1…
