Low-Latency Transaction Scheduling via Userspace Interrupts: Why Wait or Yield When You Can Preempt?

Summary: PreemptDB, a DBMS engine, leverages modern CPUs' userspace interrupts to enable preemptive transaction scheduling. In-userspace, lightweight preemption and priority scheduling target short, high-priority work with minimal impact on long queries, reducing latency vs FIFO or cooperative schemes.
