Under the Hood of an Exadata Transaction

Persistent memory is a new silicon technology, adding a distinct storage tier of performance, capacity, and price between DRAM and Flash. The persistent memory is physically present on the memory bus of the storage server resulting in reads at memory speed, much faster than flash. Writes are persistent, surviving power cycles, unlike DRAM. Oracle has engineered Exadata Smart PMEM Cache and Exadata Smart PMEM Log capabilities with Intel Optane Persistent Memory to achieve this significant boost in Oracle Database OLTP performance.

Jia Shi, VP of Exadata Development, will describe the engineering details of their implementation in Exadata and how Oracle's software development teams are innovating with this technology.
