An Evaluation of the Advantages and Disadvantages of Deterministic Database Systems
Summary: Systematically benchmarks deterministic database systems, quantifying replication, deadlock, commit, and locking benefits against preprocessing, limited abortability, and reduced execution flexibility. Shows tradeoffs depend strongly on workload and cluster configuration, challenging blanket claims of superiority. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
