Opportunities for Optimism in Contended Main-Memory Multicore Transactions
Summary: Re-evaluates OCC under contention in main-memory multicore DBs, arguing degradation stems from implementation choices rather than the CC design. Proposes commit-time updates and timestamp splitting as new variants, boosting OCC and MVCC under contention.
