Aether: A Scalable Approach to Logging

Summary: Aether scales ARIES logging on multi-core DBs; bottlenecks: tiny I/O bursts, flush lock waits, OS scheduler churn, memory contention. Holistic tech yields 20–69% speedups on log workloads and >1.8 GB/s small-log inserts on server, beating mutex-based logging. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
