The Present and Future of Large Memory in DB2

Project and Program: Information Management, Database

Tags: Proceedings, 2014, SHARE in Pittsburgh 2014

With the flattening of Moore's Law, processor speeds will not serve as a significant source of single thread performance improvement in the coming years.  Database systems are looking to exploit large real memory to avoid I/O latency and decrease CPU overhead. DB2 10 and future releases of DB2 will look to exploit large real memories and z/OS features such as large page sizes and flash memory. This session will cover the potential performance benefits of large real memories and how DB2 plans to exploit such opportunities.-Dave Levish-IBM Corporation
