BzTree: A High-Performance Latch-free Range Index for Non-Volatile Memory
Summary: BzTree is a latch-free NVM-resident B-tree built around persistent multi-word CAS, simplifying concurrent updates while outperforming Bw-tree by up to 2×. Crash recovery requires only rolling back/forward in-flight operations (~145 μs), with one implementation spanning RAM and NVM. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
