Podcast 1:6 - Elastic Search + Optane DCPMM = 2x Performance Rise of the Stack Developer

    • Technology

Intel's new Persistent Memory technology has three modes of operation. One as an extension of your current memory. Imagine extending your server with 9TBytes of Memory. The second is called AppDirect mode where you can use the Persistent Memory as a persistent segment of memory or as a high-speed SSD. The third mode is called mix mode. In this mode, a percentage of the persistent memory is used for AppDirect and the other to extend your standard DDR4 Memory. When exploring this new technology, I realized that I could take the persistent memory and use it as a high-speed SSD. If I did that could I increase the throughput of my ElasticSearch Server? So I set up a test suite to try this out.
