One-shot Garbage Collection for In-memory OLTP through Temporality-aware Version Storage

Anastasia Ailamaki, Periklis Chrysogelos, Angelos Christos Anadiotis, Syed Mohammad Aunn Raza

Most modern in-memory online transaction processing (OLTP) engines rely on multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) to provide data consistency guarantees in the presence of conflicting data accesses. MVCC improves concurrency by generating a new version o ...
