Database Isolation By Scheduling

Summary: DIBS modularizes isolation with predicate locking, decoupling it from the storage manager to enable a disaggregated data stack. As sole isolation mechanism, it scales to 10.5M TPS on TATP, reduces SQLite writes by 90%, and yields 1.4× YCSB on MySQL. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
