iBTune: Individualized Buffer Tuning for Large-scale Cloud Databases

Summary: iBTune automates per-instance buffer tuning in cloud DBs under a fixed memory budget. It uses similarity-based miss-ratio inference and a pairwise deep neural network to bound response time, enabling memory reduction across 10k OLTP instances. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
