On Concurrency Control by Multiple Versions
Summary: Characterizes the maximal parallelism attainable by multiversion concurrency control, identifying conditions and bounds for nonblocking serializability. Proves an explicit space–parallelism tradeoff: higher concurrency requires proportionally more versions and gives tight bounds relating storage to parallelism.
