Event Horizon: Asymmetric Dependencies for Fast Geo-Distributed Operations
Summary: Introduce Semi-Linearizability (SL), a model that encodes asymmetric operation-ordering to avoid unnecessary cross-site coordination in geo-distributed apps. Maps these semantics to coordination primitives so safe uncoordinated operations are possible; DeMon shows ~10k× latency drop on hot RUBiS ops. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
