AQP and Modern DBMS

This lecture discusses the challenges of modern database management systems in handling increasing data volumes and the trade-offs involved in using approximate query processing (AQP) techniques to improve processing speed. It covers topics such as the bottleneck of AQP algorithms on modern hardware, the impact of sampling on reducing data volume, and the importance of optimizing memory and interconnect speeds. The instructor also explores the evolution of NAND flash technologies and the implications for storage density and performance.
