Safe and Efficient Sharing of Persistent Objects in Thor

Summary: Thor is an OO DB for heterogeneous distributed settings, guaranteeing safe sharing of persistent objects via language-agnostic method calls. It achieves low-overhead safety and an adaptive prefetching cache; OO7 shows faster traversals and better cache use. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
