Locking and Latching in a Memory-Resident Database System
Summary: For memory-resident Starburst storage, consolidates table, index, and lock protection under one latch without materially reducing concurrency. A direct-addressed, dynamically multigranular lock manager cuts overhead and outperforms the traditional design by up to 60%. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
