Helping InnoDB Scale on Servers with Many CPU Cores and Disks

11:55am - 12:40pm Thursday, 04/17/2008

Performance Tuning and Benchmarks
Location: Ballroom D

The InnoDB storage engine is an amazing work of engineering and art. But it has a flaw. It was designed for servers with few CPU cores and few disks. Design decisions made then limit the scalability of InnoDB on today’s commodity servers, which happen to have many disks and CPU cores. InnoDB and the MySQL community are working hard on fixing these problems. I will describe the performance problems in the official release and fixes for the problems that have been developed by InnoDB, Google and the MySQL community.
