The Datacycle Architecture for Very High Throughput Database Systems

Summary: Datacycle: a networked, batch-update DB architecture leveraging optical bandwidth to reach tens of thousands of transactions per second on large databases. Key contributions: scalable consistency, simplified data management, fast complex-query execution, and efficient concurrency control, with a prototype. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
