A Quantitative Comparison of Lock Protocols for Centralized Databases
Summary: Quantitatively compares three established lock protocols for centralized databases via discrete-event simulation. Evaluates their performance under concurrent, high-throughput transaction workloads, addressing a gap in prior largely qualitative protocol analysis. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
