Hekaton is the Greek word for 100 - the goal of In-Memory OLTP in SQL Server 2014 is to
improve query performance up to 100 times. In this session we will look under
the cover of Hekaton and the Multi Version Concurrency Control (MVCC)
principles on which Hekaton is build. We will start the session by looking on
the challenges that can be solved by Hekaton, especially Locking, Blocking, and
Latching within SQL Server. Based on that foundation we move into the
principles of MVCC, and how a Storage Engine and Transaction Manager can be
built based on that concept.
