On Predictive Modeling for Optimizing Transaction Execution in Parallel OLTP Systems

Summary: Proposes Houdini, a Markov-model predicting transaction properties to auto-select optimizations (CC, scheduling, undo logging, speculative execution) for parallel OLTP. 93% of transactions get proper optimizations; 41% throughput gain; 5% overhead.
