Accelerating Analytical Processing in MVCC using Fine-Granular High-Frequency Virtual Snapshotting

Summary: HTAP MVCC with hybrid processing: OLAP on fine-grained virtual snapshots; OLTP uses the latest version. Introduces vm_snapshot, a custom system call for ultra-fast snapshots; 100x faster than fork, up to 4x OLAP speedup, and higher OLTP throughput. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
