The Effect of Skewed Data Access on Buffer Hits and Data Contention in a Data Sharing Environment
Summary: Examines skewed data access in a multi-node sharing setting, focusing on buffer hits, contention, and CC-driven response. Unified buffer–CC model, validated, shows skew can improve performance; optimistic CC is more robust, with gains varying by skew. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
