Anti-Caching: A New Approach to Database Management System Architecture
Summary: Anti-caching flips the storage hierarchy: main memory is primary, cold data moved to disk transactionally. Prototype in high-performance OLTP DBMS; compares to disk-based and memory-cache setups; reports up to 9x throughput gains for highly skewed workloads with data ~8× memory.
