The Art of Latency Hiding in Modern Database Engines

Summary: MosaicDB proposes jointly hiding I/O, synchronization, and memory latencies in OLTP engines using stackless coroutines and tailored scheduling, moving beyond isolated latency mitigation. Its coroutine-to-transaction model avoids oversubscription and contention, preserving in-memory performance while delivering up to 33× speedups. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
