The End of Slow Networks: It's Time for a Redesign
Summary: RDMA-capable networks erase the old bottleneck, with bandwidth and latency rivaling memory channels and forcing a redesign of distributed in-memory DBMSs. Proposes a new architecture and shows OLTP/OLAP prototype results with large gains over existing designs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
