NEDB 2013 - John Hugg: Determinism in High-Throughput Distributed Databases

The original VoltDB academic papers leverage determinism to achieve high performance. John's talk at MIT's New England Database Day explores determinism in detail and provides specific insight into the following areas:

  • What is determinism in the context of distributed databases?
  • What are some basic sources of non-determinism and how can they be addressed?
  • In what awesome ways can determinism be leveraged in distributed systems?
  • How can non-determinism risks be mitigated and what are some interesting related engineering tradeoffs?

Stonebraker Live! 2013 - Cambridge

Watch VoltDB's Dr. Michael Stonebraker of MIT, UC Berkeley, and Ingres and Postgres fame present the founding principles of solving modern data-velocity problems: "Data is growing faster than hard drives," "Move the computation to the data, never move the data to the computation," "Bet on main memory because there's no other way to go fast," and "Run transactions to completion, and you eliminate locking and multithreading," are central to his beliefs.

Mike Stonebraker on NewSQL vs NoSQL for New OLTP at the NoSQLNow! Conference

View Mike Stonebraker's presentation at the NoSQLNow! Conference in August 2011. This talk discusses how historically, enterprises used traditional RDBMs for online transaction processing (OLTP) applications; and we affectionately call these systems OldSQL, because they are largely legacy code bases, originally written decades ago. New OLTP applications have more extreme performance requirements than the Old OLTP applications of yesteryears.

This talk contrasts two alternatives to OldSQL in this area:

  • NoSQL, where both SQL and ACID transactions are jettisoned for better performance
  • NewSQL, where SQL and ACID are retained, and better performance is delivered through innovative architectures

GameDuell's Ralf Neeb: Real-/Neartime analysis with Hadoop & VoltDB

Analyzing big data with Hadoop has become a de facto standard procedure in the recent years. When it comes to real-/neartime analysis, there are still new challenges arising, e.g. processing many small data (events) and providing the result in near time without having the need for high-end storage infrastructure.

Navigating the Database Universe

The design decisions you make today will have a huge performance impact down the line. For databases, until recently, the choice was easy. Essentially, you had one option: the RDBMS. Today, there's a new universe of databases being thrown into production - and some not always to the greatest success. How do you make the right choice for your next application? Database pioneer Dr. Michael Stonebraker and VoltDB co-founder Scott Jarr have some thoughts.

Watch the webinar here.
