CoroBase: Coroutine-Oriented Main-Memory Database Engine

Summary: CoroBase uses a coroutine-to-transaction paradigm, enabling inter-transaction batching and prefetching without API changes. On 48 cores, read-heavy workloads see ~2x throughput; otherwise, full-engine coroutine integration remains competitive. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
