Design Guidelines for Correct, Efficient, and Scalable Synchronization using One-Sided RDMA

Summary: First comprehensive analysis of one-sided synchronization for RDMA-based data structures in disaggregated DBMS. Identifies performance variability and correctness gaps; offers general principles for one-sided RDMA, achieving correctness and notable speedups. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
