Fast General Distributed Transactions with Opacity
Summary: Extends FaRM to provide opacity (strict serializability for committed and aborted txs) while preserving high throughput and availability in data centers. Real-time microsecond-clock synchronization with clock-master failover enables 5.4M new-order txs/sec on 90 nodes with 3-way replication under TPC-C.
