Adaptive Database Buffer Allocation Using Query Feedback

Summary: Adaptive buffer management via query feedback; a model quantifies page-fault characteristics across access patterns (sequential, looping, and random). Introduces load-control and marginal-gain-ratio allocation; simulations show consistent gains over prior methods, especially for random workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
