Scalable Logging through Emerging Non-Volatile Memory

Summary: Advocates NVM-backed distributed logging on multicore/multi-socket systems to bypass flush-before-commit in modern DBMS. Proposes passive group commit and durable processor cache as lightweight mechanisms to protect committed work, achieving up to ~3× speedup over centralized logging with minimal overhead.
