A Mechanism for Managing the Buffer Pool in a Relational Database System Using the Hot Set Model

Summary: Introduces a hot-set-model buffer manager for relational systems, modeling database request patterns to allocate buffers effectively. Targets thrashing caused by periodic process accesses and contention among concurrent workloads, extending beyond traditional replacement policies. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
