My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

For most high-end processors these values have remained in the range of 75% to 85% of the peak DRAM bandwidth of the system over the past 15-20 years — an amazing accomplishment given the increase in core count (with its associated cache coherence issues), number of DRAM channels, and ever-increasing pipelining of the DRAMs themselves.

To understand the current status, needs, and challenges in HCM, the first workshop for Heterogeneous and Composable Memory was held with HPCA’23 on Feb 26, 2023. There are three common mechanisms to access remote memory: modifying applications, modifying virtual memory, and hardware-level cache coherence support.

This post was originally published in June 2020 and was updated in September 2023. This results in expedited query execution, reduced resource utilization, and more efficient exploitation of the available hardware resources. MySQL relies heavily on the availability of hardware resources to perform at its best.
