Consistent Synchronization Schemes for Workload Replay

Summary: Defines consistent replay synchronization schemes and the spectrum; shows Oracle 11g R1's scheme is coarse-grained. Proposes a finer partial-order scheme to reduce waits and boost concurrency; implemented in Oracle 11gR2 with improved replay quality. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
