A Data-oriented Transaction Execution Engine and Supporting Tools
Summary: DORA uses a data-oriented, thread-to-data execution model, replacing thread-to-transaction mapping and yielding predictable data accesses. Offers decentralized lock management, a dynamic load balancer, and tooling for data-centric OLTP on manycore hardware. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
