Improving OLTP Scalability using Speculative Lock Inheritance

Summary: SLI lets hot locks pass directly between transactions, bypassing lock-manager bottlenecks for short OLTP workloads. In Shore-MT, SLI decouples lock contention from thread count, delivering linear scalability with minimal changes. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
