Rebirth-Retire: A Concurrency Control Protocol Adaptable to Different Levels of Contention
Summary: Adapts Wound-Retire for variable contention by having younger requesters retire locks to cut retire overhead in low contention and introducing Rebirth—giving older transactions larger timestamps instead of aborting younger ones. Shows lower abort rates and higher throughput than Wound-Retire across contention levels in in-memory DB workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
