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 ...

Robustness Against Read Committed: A Free Transactional Lunch

Christoph Koch, Bas Ketsman

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 ...

Efficient Multi-Word Compare and Swap

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi

Atomic lock-free multi-word compare-and-swap (MCAS) is a powerful tool for designing concurrent algorithms. Yet, its widespread usage has been limited because lock-free implementations of MCAS make heavy use of expensive compare-and-swap (CAS) instructions ...

Fast General Distributed Transactions with Opacity

Aleksandar Dragojevic, Stanko Novakovic, Georgios Chatzopoulos

Transactions can simplify distributed applications by hiding data distribution, concurrency, and failures from the application developer. Ideally the developer would see the abstraction of a single large machine that runs transactions sequentially and neve ...

Distributed Transactional Systems Cannot Be Fast

Rachid Guerraoui, Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona, Junxiong Wang, Panagiota Fatourou

We prove that no fully transactional system can provide fast read transactions (including read-only ones that are considered the most frequent in practice). Specifically, to achieve fast read transactions, the system has to give up support of transactions ...

The PCL Theorem: Transactions cannot be Parallel, Consistent, and Live

Rachid Guerraoui, Victor Bushkov, Panagiota Fatourou

We establish a theorem called the PCL theorem, which states that it is impossible to design a transactional memory algorithm that ensures (1) parallelism, i.e., transactions do not need to synchronize unless they access the same application objects, (2) ve ...

Locking Timestamps versus Locking Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, Junxiong Wang, Tudor Alexandru David

We present multiversion timestamp locking (MVTL), a new genre of multiversion concurrency control algorithms for serializable transactions. The key idea behind MVTL is simple: lock individual timestamps instead of locking objects. After presenting a generi ...
