A Recovery Algorithm for A High-Performance Memory-Resident Database System
Summary: Proposes a memory-resident DB recovery mechanism using a few MB of memory to store per-object recovery data, enabling amortized checkpoints. Crash recovery splits into fast data-needed restoration for transactions, and background recovery for rest. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
