CrocodileDB: Efficient Database Execution through Intelligent Deferment
Summary: Introduces CrocodileDB, a resource-efficient DB that trades eagerness for intelligent deferment to reduce wasted computation as CPU growth slows. Combines declarative timing specs, workload-predictive execution policies, novel schedulers and deferred data-loading to maximize reuse. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
