High-Throughput Transaction Executions on Graphics Processors

Summary: GPUTx batches OLTP transactions into bulk units for GPU-based SPMD execution, leveraging atomic ops and massive thread parallelism. Three strategies (one with locks, two lock-free) evaluated on a modern GPU deliver 4–10× CPU throughput on public benchmarks. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
