Context-Based Synchronization: An Approach beyond Semantics for Concurrency Control
Summary: Context-based synchronization: use operation/execution context to relax static conflict models and enable more concurrency while preserving serializability and hybrid atomicity. Builds on HW (commit-time per-object timestamps) to let some noncommutative ops run concurrently when contexts differ, reducing spurious conflicts. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
