DIBA: A Re-Configurable Stream Processor
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Stream processing acceleration is driven by the continuously increasing volume and velocity of data generated on the Web and the limitations of storage, computation, and power consumption. Hardware solutions provide better performance and power consumption, but they are hindered by the high research and development costs and the long time to market. In this work, we propose our re-configurable stream processor (Diba), a complete rethinking of a previously proposed customized and flexible query processor that targets real-time stream processing. Diba uses a unidirectional dataflow not dedicated to any specific type of query (operator) on streams, allowing a straightforward placement of processing components on a general data path that facilitates query mapping. In Diba, the concepts of the distribution network and processing components are implemented as two separate entities connected using generic interfaces. This approach allows the adoption of a versatile architecture for a family of queries rather than forcing a rigid chain of processing components to implement such queries. Our experimental evaluations of representative queries from TPC-H yielded processing times of 300, 1220, and 3520 milliseconds for data streams with scale factor sizes of one, four, and ten gigabytes, respectively.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
