CoroBase: Coroutine-Oriented Main-Memory Database Engine
Summary: CoroBase models transactions as lightweight coroutines, enabling inter-transaction software-prefetch batching without application/interface changes. Its full-engine design nearly doubles read-intensive throughput on 48 cores while remaining competitive when prefetching offers little benefit. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
