Scaling Multicore Databases via Constrained Parallel Execution

Multicore in-memory databases often rely on traditional con- currency control schemes such as two-phase-locking (2PL) or optimistic concurrency control (OCC). Unfortunately, when the workload exhibits a non-trivial amount of contention, both 2PL and OCC sacrifice much parallel execution op- portunity. In this paper, we describe a new conc...More
