Improving DBMS Scheduling Decisions with Accurate Performance Prediction on Concurrent Queries
Summary: IconqSched is a non-intrusive, cross-engine scheduler whose black-box Iconq predictor models concurrent-query runtime across system states. Greedy admission and timing decisions reduce end-to-end runtime by up to 16.5% on average and 33.6% at the tail on PostgreSQL/Redshift. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
