An Empirical Evaluation of In-Memory Multi-Version Concurrency Control

Summary: Empirical study of MVCC on multi-core hardware, evaluating four design axes: concurrency protocol, version storage, GC, and index management. Implemented MVCC variants in in-memory DBMS and evaluated OLTP workloads to reveal bottlenecks and scaling limits. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
