Fast Failure Recovery for Main-Memory DBMSs on Multicores

Summary: Exploits application semantics with coarse-grained transaction-level logging for fast recovery in main-memory DBMS on multicore CPUs. Compile-time procedure decomposition plus runtime parameter-aware scheduling enables parallel recovery on a 40-core system. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
