The Present and Future of Large Memory in DB2

With the flattening of Moore's Law, processor speeds will not serve as a significant source of performance improvement in coming years. Database systems are looking to exploit large real memory to avoid I/O latency and 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.

Tracks: Application Development, Performance/Capacity Planning, Software Architecture and z/OS Systems Programming
