Heterogeneous and Composable Memory (HCM) offers a feasible solution for terabyte- or petabyte-scale systems, addressing the performance and efficiency demands of emerging big-data applications. However, building and utilizing HCM presents challenges, including interconnecting various memory technologies (e.g.,

While the technologies have evolved and matured enough, there are still some people thinking that MySQL is only for small projects or that it can’t perform well with large tables. It was developed for optimizing data storage and access for big data sets. MyRocks is shipped in Percona Server for MySQL.

Take the example of industrial manufacturing: in prototyping, drafts for technologically complex products are no longer physically produced; rather, their characteristics can be tested in a purely virtual fashion at every location across the globe by using simulations. These mechanisms need to be lean, seamless and effective.
