B-Trees Are Back: Engineering Fast and Pageable Node Layouts

Summary: B-Trees re-engineered for fast, pageable nodes handling variable-sized records in hybrid memory–flash systems. Six node-layout optimizations evaluated; adaptive layout rivals in-memory performance for many workloads, in- or out-of-memory. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
