Batch mode was introduced in SQL 2012 and it revolutionized query performance on analytical data. We don't speak that often on this, but the SQL team does do improvements each release to make scenarios faster. This talk will go into some details about how modern hardware is evolving and how SQL leverages those advances to deliver best-in-class performance through its batch mode engine. This talk will go deep into hardware design and behavior, but it is intended to be accessible to those without a deep computer science background.
