BUZZARD: A NUMA-Aware In-Memory Indexing System

Summary: BUZZARD: NUMA-aware in-memory indexing using a prefix-tree partitioned across nodes, routing requests to local workers to minimize remote traffic. Adaptive partitioning with batch flushes and owner-local indexing reduces contention, boosting throughput on NUMA (220%) vs a single index. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
