An Evaluation of Distributed Concurrency Control

Summary: Empirical, apples-to-apples evaluation of six distributed serializable CC protocols for in-memory DBMSs via the Deneva framework on cloud. Reveals scalability bottlenecks; under low contention all perform; under high updates, 2PL/no-wait leads up to 54%; high contention, deterministic protocols win for simple TXs but do not scale with FKs.
