LLAMA: A Cache/Storage Subsystem for Modern Hardware

Summary: LLAMA is a cache/storage subsystem with a logical-to-physical page map, enabling latch-free updates. Bw-tree atop LLAMA delivers higher performance and scalability than BerkeleyDB’s B-tree, with shared mapping, log-structure placement. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
