High-Performance DBMSs with io_uring: When and How to Use It
Summary: Characterizes when Linux io_uring benefits DBMSs, spanning buffer-manager storage I/O and analytical network shuffles, while quantifying registered-buffer and passthrough-I/O effects. Derives practical guidelines beyond naive API substitution, yielding a 14% PostgreSQL gain. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 17 2026)
