InnoDB
now supports up to 64 GB of buffer
pool memory in a Windows 32-bit Intel computer. This is
possible because InnoDB
can use the AWE
extension of Windows to address memory over the 4 GB limit
of a 32-bit process. A new startup variable
innodb_buffer_pool_awe_mem_mb
enables AWE
and sets the size of the buffer pool in megabytes.
Reduced the size of buffer headers and the lock table.
InnoDB
uses 2 % less memory.
