OLTP on Hardware Islands

Summary: OLTP on Hardware Islands analyzes hardware heterogeneity in multicore, multisocket servers and its effect on OLTP throughput. It compares shared-everything vs. topology-aware shared-nothing, showing on-socket islands yield higher throughput and predictability under skew. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
