DEX: Scalable Range Indexing on Disaggregated Memory
Summary: DEX is a scalable B+-tree for disaggregated memory, combining logical partitioning, lightweight caching, and cost-aware offloading to mitigate remote-access and consistency costs. It outperforms prior approaches by 1.7–56.3× across cache sizes and workload skew. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
