LifeRaft: Data-Driven, Batch Processing for the Exploration of Scientific Databases
Summary: LifeRaft batches long, data‑intensive queries by ordering scans to maximize overlapping data access, reducing I/O and improving cache reuse. Adaptive head‑scheduling‑inspired policies balance throughput and latency to avoid starvation; achieves ~2× throughput on SkyQuery. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
