An Evaluation of Checkpoint Recovery for Massively Multiplayer Online Games

Summary: Evaluation of checkpoint recovery techniques for DBMS under MMO workloads. Recommends copy-on-update with a double-backup disk organization, outperforming ARIES-style recovery in MMO latency and crash recovery, via synthetic traces and a prototype server.
