Adaptive Concurrency Control: Despite the Looking Glass, One Concurrency Control Does Not Fit All

Summary: Adaptive Concurrency Control (ACC): dynamically cluster data and choose per-cluster concurrency-control protocols to adapt to shifting workloads in multicore main‑memory transactional DBs. Novelty: contention-aware clustering, workload-driven protocol selection, and mixed-protocol operation. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
