Techniques and solutions are provided for performing adaptive database table placement in a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) architecture. The adaptive table placement can occur in response to changing workloads on the NUMA nodes. For example, if a particu ...
Geo-replicated data platforms are the backbone of several large-scale online services. Transactional Causal Consistency (TCC) is an attractive consistency level for building such platforms. TCC avoids many anomalies of eventual consistency, eschews the syn ...
Transaction processing is a central part of most database applications. While serializability remains the gold standard for desirable transactional semantics, many database systems offer improved transaction throughput at the expense of introducing potenti ...
The isolation level Multiversion Read Committed (RC), offered by many database systems, is known to trade consistency for increased transaction throughput. Sometimes, transaction workloads can be safely executed under RC obtaining the perfect isolation of ...
The use of transactions in distributed systems dates back to the 70's. The last decade has also seen the proliferation of transactional systems. In the existing transactional systems, many protocols employ a centralized approach in executing a distributed ...

The atomic commit problem lies at the heart of distributed database systems. The problem consists for a set of processes (database nodes) to agree on whether to commit or abort a transaction (agreement property). The commit decision can only be taken if al ...
There is a trend towards increased specialization of data management software for performance reasons. The improved performance not only leads to a more efficient usage of the underlying hardware and cuts the operation costs of the system, but also is a ga ...
Transactional Causal Consistency (TCC) extends causal consistency, the strongest consistency model compatible with availability, with interactive read-write transactions, and is therefore particularly appealing for geo-replicated platforms. This paper pres ...
The atomic commit problem lies at the heart of distributed database systems. The problem consists for a set of processes (database nodes) to agree on whether to commit or abort a transaction (agreement property). The commit decision can only be taken if al ...
In its classical form, a consistent replicated service requires all replicas to witness the same evolution of the service state. If we consider an asynchronous messagepassing environment in which processes might fail by crashing, and assume that a majority ...
