Talk: SQL Server On Linux: Will It Perform Or Not?

Track: Modern CS in the Real World

Location: Windsor, 5th flr.

Day of week: Wednesday

Duration: 10:35am - 11:25am

Will SQL Server perform on Linux better than on Windows? Have you been wondering whether the multi-layer architecture the team revealed recently will hurt SQL Server’s performance? Are you still not convinced about the entire endeavor. Come, listen to the talk, learn about SQL Server’s platform agnostic architecture then derive the answers for yourself. The talk will briefly go over history of the project, high level architecture and dive fast into core of I/O Manager, Memory Manager, and Scheduler. To make the talk more fun, every topic will include lessons learned and experiences behind the scenes.
