High-Performance Concurrency Control Mechanisms for Main-Memory Databases

Summary: Two in-memory MVCC schemes (optimistic and pessimistic) for high-throughput DBs; avoid blocking, may wait at commit to ensure serializability. MVCC variants incur higher overhead but are less sensitive to hotspots and long-running transactions than single-version locking. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
