Here are the slides and video for my MySQL UC ignite talk on measuring the performance of SSDs. You can find this talk and other mostly technical material at http://tokutek.com/technology/. This research was funded in part by the National Science Foundation.
I recently discovered that there’s a youtube video of the talk I gave at OpenSQL Camp in Portland in 2009. This is a whiteboard presentation and is less well developed than the talk I gave a the MySQL conference (I posted those slides two days ago. But since it includes audio it may be easier [...]
Here’s the talk I presented at the MySQL User Conference. This talk is a fairly technical talk on how fractal trees work. You can find this talk and other mostly technical material at http://tokutek.com/technology/.
Another plug for Bradley’s talk Thursday morning at the MySQL User’s conference. Spending the day talking to DBA’s and other potential users of TokuDB, I (Zardosht) noticed the same question/theme come up numerous times in conversation. “Oh, so your indexes are in memory, that is why iiBench is so much faster for TokuDB than InnoDB”. [...]
I forgot to include the titles for my talks. The ignite talk Wednesday at 7pm is “What Is a Performance Model for SSDs?“ The ignite talk is a 5-minute talk at tonight’s Ignite MySQL session organized by Brian Aker. I’ll present some performance measurements on the Intel X25E SSD. The bottom line is that although [...]
I (Bradley C. Kuszmaul) am presenting two talks at the MySQL User Conference. The first talk is a 5-minute talk at tonight’s Ignite MySQL session organized by Brian Aker. I’ll present some performance measurements on the Intel X25E SSD. The bottom line is that although I can get the 3,300 random 4KB writes per second, [...]
Fast insertion – what Tokutek excels at – isn’t only important for handling high data rates. It also enables a new way to extract value from an existing database called ad hoc indexing. KAYAK has a billion rows stored in TokuDB and adding an index for a traditional MySQL storage engine would take too long [...]
At this year’s O’Reilly MySQL Conference we will be showing the latest version of our MySQL storage engine, TokuDB v3.1. Come visit us at Table T1 in the OEM section of the Exhibit Hall. We will be talking about how TokuDB can dramatically improve performance for: Social Networking applications eCommerce Personalization Logfile Analysis High-speed Webcrawling [...]
Tokutek is pleased to announce immediate availability of TokuDB for MySQL, version 3.1. It is designed for continuous querying and analysis of large volumes of rapidly arriving and changing data, while maintaining full ACID properties. TokuDB v3.1′s new functionality includes: Improved handling of a full disk Configurable disk space reserve Faster group commits Faster crash recovery [...]
