Performance Evaluation of an Adaptive and Robust Load Control Method for the Avoidance of Data-Contention Thrashing
Summary: Adaptive, self-tuning load control monitors conflict ratio and suspends new admissions or cancels blockers to avoid data-contention thrashing. Evaluation on OLTP traces from a large Swiss bank shows dynamic workload adaptation and clear outperformance of fixed DMP. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
