In-Memory Computing Essentials for Java Developers and Architects

Abstract:
Distributed, in-memory computing technologies such as caches, data grids, and databases boost application performance and solve scalability problems by storing and processing large datasets across a cluster of interconnected machines.

This session is for software engineers and architects who build data-intensive applications and want practical experience with in-memory computing. You will be introduced to the fundamental capabilities of distributed, in-memory systems and will learn how to tap into your cluster’s resources.

Join Denis as he describes and demonstrates three essential capabilities of in-memory computing—with code samples based on Apache Ignite:

- Data partitioning: to use all of a cluster’s memory and CPU resources.
- Affinity co-location: to avoid data shuffling and use highly performant, distributed SQL queries
- Co-located processing: to perform compute and data-intensive calculations at high speeds straight on the cluster nodes
