Performance Results on Multiversion Timestamp Concurrency Control with Predeclared Writesets
Summary: Simulations show Basic TO and MVTO collapse in throughput when even a tiny fraction of jobs are long-update transactions. The Buckley–Silberschatz multiversion protocol using predeclared writesets eliminates rollbacks, avoids thrashing, outperforms 2PL, and has a strong optimality theorem.
