A Multicore Database Is Not a Distributed System
Summary: Rejects modeling multicore DBs as shared-nothing per-core partitioning, which breaks down for skewed or dynamic workloads. Advocates workload-aware transaction scheduling to mitigate contention and scale concurrency control without rigid partitioning. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
