ERMIA: Fast Memory-Optimized Database System for Heterogeneous Workloads

Summary: ERMIA is a memory-optimized DB system built from scratch to support heterogeneous workloads. It uses snapshot isolation for coordination and can provide serializability, delivering scalable performance and preserving high read-mostly throughput where OCC-based systems falter.
