DSG Seminar Series • Ultra-scalable transactional management, linear scale out of transactional workloads

Friday, May 24, 2019 10:30 am - 10:30 am EDT (GMT -04:00)

Speaker: Ricardo Jimenez-Peris

Abstract: The talk will present the ultra-scalable distributed algorithm to process transactional management and how it has been implemented as part of the LeanXcale database. The talk will go into the details on how ACID properties have been scaled out independently in a composable manner.

The talk will also cover the architectural aspects of the systems and how it has been integrated with the rest of the components of the LeanXcale database, the distributed storage engine and the distributed SQL query engine. It will also be presented the underpinnings on how to blend operational and analytical workloads through innovations on the storage engine combined with a distributed OLAP query engine.
