Queueing Network Models for Concurrent Transaction Processing in a Database System
Summary: Two queueing-network models of lock management analyze lock-granularity and multiprogramming effects on performance. Corroborates Ries and Stonebraker coarse granularity suffices for parallelism; enables causal analysis at lower cost than simulations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
