Hekaton: SQL Server’s Memory-Optimized OLTP Engine

Summary: SQL Server’s Hekaton is a memory-resident OLTP engine, fully integrated with T-SQL and memory-optimized durable tables. High concurrency comes from latch-free data structures and optimistic MVCC; mem-optimized procedures can be compiled to native code and access both mem-optimized and regular tables.
