It began as a question. Could a slice of silicon make MySQL the fastest database on the planet? Impossible, most thought. It would have to be magic. Well, call it magic or advanced technology, it's here. Join us and we'll show you how it's making customers' data warehousing limitations disappear!

Paul McCullagh (PrimeBase Technologies GmbH)
What are the challenges facing storage engines today and tomorrow? Solid state storage, 64 cores and beyond and cloud computing environments are all areas in which a storage engine must prove itself now, to be equipped for the future.
This session will discuss the design of the PBXT transactional storage engine, and the ideas and solutions, planned and implemented to meet these challenges.

The combination of MySQL and Hadoop opens up new doors for innovation that weren't possible before. Hadoop allows for Massive Parallel Processing but falls short of offering the speed, features and advantages of a relational database such as MySQL. For data intensive startups with massive data processing requirements, a combination of Hadoop and MySQL may be the best solution.

Writing a custom engine can seem intimidating and creating a generic engine can be. This presentation will show how to refine the requirements to a manageable subset. We will discuss the problem addressed, the approach chosen, storage engine design and API required to implement the design. We will talk about lessons learned implementing the storage engine to improve flexibility and performance.

How does the database server use memory? Where? What are the scaling implications of how we allocate, use and free memory in the database server? Can we scale to many CPU cores effectively? Do alternate malloc libraries really help? Why? What does MySQL do? What does Drizzle do (and what have we changed?). These questions (and more) will be answered in this session.

You can run MySQL on a standard server, but there can be benefits to running MySQL within a virtualized environment. You can take advantage of the isolation it provides, or the performance gains possible by running multiple MySQL instances on one large server. This session will show you the benefits and potential issues of running MySQL in a virtualized environment.

InnoDB is well-known and popular, but naturally there's room for improvement. There are many hard-coded constants – what happens if we turn them into command-line parameters? InnoDB is also incredibly complex, with a lot going on under the covers. What algorithms can we change to make InnoDB faster and more scalable, especially on modern hardware?
