A Heartbeat Mechanism and its Application in Gigascope

Summary: Proposes a punctuation-carrying heartbeat to unblock multi-stream operators, generated at low-level nodes and propagated upward. Demonstrated in Gigascope (AT&T) for data streams, enabling failure detection and memory savings at multi-Gbps speeds. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
