Towards Buffer Management with Tiered Main Memory

Summary: Systematic study of tiered memory buffer management in DBMS; evaluating five indexing designs that leverage remote memory (RDMA/CXL). Proposes a provisioning strategy for local/remote memory; results show trade-offs and no single design dominates. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
