Efficient Optimistic Concurrency Control Using Loosely Synchronized Clocks
Summary: Optimistic concurrency control for distributed DBs uses loosely synchronized clocks to guarantee serializability and external consistency, with a single version per object and per-client invalidations. Simulations show it beats adaptive callback locking at low–moderate contention and scales with clients; high contention causes aborts, suggesting a hybrid path.
