DBMS Metrology: Measuring Query Time
Summary: Presents Tucson Protocol: a causal model tying OS/kernel metrics to DBMS query time, with sanity checks and predicate-based pruning to yield a single justified timing. Delivers 1.2% resolution across runs, enabling more accurate measurements for DBMS. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
