Main-Memory Operation Buffering for Efficient R-Tree Update
Summary: Main-memory buffering and bulk grouping for R-tree updates, avoiding immediate disk writes and using available RAM to sustain high update rates. Analytical cost model with empirical validation shows improved update I/O over SOTA methods for frequent spatial-index workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
