High Performance Transactions via Early Write Visibility

Summary: Early write visibility (EWV) exposes writes before end, reducing write-read delay. PWV (piece-wise visibility) is a serializable protocol using EWV to boost concurrency, beating rival serializable protocols and RC by up to 3x at high contention. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
