The Art of Latency Hiding in Modern Database Engines

Summary: MosaicDB jointly hides memory, I/O, and synchronization latency in OLTP via stackless coroutines and latency-aware scheduling. Its coroutine-to-transaction model avoids oversubscription and contention, delivering up to 33× speedup without penalizing memory-resident workloads. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
