 Topic 1: Hekaton - In Memory tables - Transaction Logging and Checkpoint processes

Hekaton “In Memory” tables, introduced in SQL Server 2014, has achieved huge performance gains, after making several changes in query processing, transaction processing, and storage of data.  One of the major changes has been the way in which "In Memory" transactions are written to transaction log and storage of "In Memory" data on to the disk. The presentation will do a deep dive into the transaction logging, checkpoint processes of "In Memory" tables, compare them against disk based tables and demonstrate the performance gains achieved in "In Memory" tables.
