David Jiang presented InnoSQL, a new branch of MySQL that features a flash cache for the InnoDB storage engine. The flash cache provides higher performance than using an SSD as the durable storage alone. It caches both reads and writes using SSDs and employs techniques like merge writes and sequential writes to optimize for SSD performance. Benchmark results showed the flash cache improved throughput for the TPC-C workload by around 2x compared to using SSDs as the durable storage directly.
