Oracle Exadata – How did we harness the power of PMEM?

Persistent memory accomplishes near-DRAM performance, yet ensures data persistence across power failures. Oracle Exadata X8M was launched in late 2019, delivering the first PMEM accelerator for database in industry. Exadata X8M combines the power of PMEM and RoCE to deliver a record-setting 19 microsecond SQL read latency, 16 million SQL read IOPS per rack, and 8x faster log commits! In this session, Jia will unravel the secret behind the amazing database performance records, explaining how her team harnessed this disruptive technology to drive database innovation.
