- 43. Summary: 5.7 story •I/O-bound workloads: high demand for free pages, provided by LRU batch flushing or single-page flushing • Single-page flushes are bad, w/ and w/o doublewrite • Removed it • Made batch LRU flusher truly parallel • Doublewrite buffer negates parallel flushing gains • Made it parallel too
