ScaleCache: Scalable and Production-grade Buffer Management for Disk-based Database Systems

Summary: ScaleCache is a production-ready buffer manager that removes centralized bottlenecks via compact per-group reference counting for scalable pin/unpin and a copy-on-write read-write lock designed for B-link trees. Adds an optimistic, CPU-cache-friendly SIMD-accelerated hash table for page→buffer translation; integrated in Huawei GaussDB and shows near-linear scalability and large index-throughput gains on 128-core servers.
