A Simple Analytic Model For Performance Of Exclusive Locking In Database Systems
Summary: Presents a simple, efficient analytic model for exclusive-lock performance that avoids exponential-distribution assumptions. Captures essential behavior, yields tractable no-blocking analyses, and is validated by simulation across several locking/timestamping scenarios. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
