STEPS Towards Cache-Resident Transaction Processing

Summary: Steps: cache-resident OLTP with multiplexed transactions to exploit common code paths and cut instruction-cache misses without extra caches. One tx preloads; followers run, with up to 96.7% fewer misses per tx and 64% fewer mispredictions on TPC-C. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
