How to Stop Under-Utilization and Love Multicores

Summary: Survey of scalable DBMS design on multicores, NUMA, and microarchitectures; broadens Shore-MT to more storage managers. Highlights bottleneck elimination, parallel core ops, NUMA-aware placement, and cache-local optimizations to exploit hardware. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
