Chiller: Contention-centric Transaction Execution and Data Partitioning for Modern Networks
Summary: Chiller introduces contention-centric data partitioning and execution for modern RDMA networks to minimize data contention on both local and distributed transactions. By prioritizing contention minimization over merely reducing cross-partition transactions, it beats traditional schemes by up to 2×.
