Inner CALM: Concurrency control protocols through the looking glass
Summary: Apply CALM monotonicity analysis to concurrency-control implementations to quantify coordination requirements. Monotonicity pinpoints when processes must wait (lost local work), producing scale- and assumption-invariant cost metrics that differentiate protocols like 2PL and MVCC.
