31 Dec 2011 | Abstract: | A database system optimized for in-memory storage can support much higher
transaction rates than current systems. However, standard concurrency control
methods used today do not scale to the high transaction rates achievable by
such systems. In this paper we introduce two efficient concurrency control
methods specifically designed for main-memory databases. Both use
multiversioning to isolate read-only transactions from updates but differ in
how atomicity is ensured: one is optimistic and one is pessimistic. To avoid
expensive context switching, transactions never block during normal processing
but they may have to wait before commit to ensure correct serialization
ordering. We also implemented a main-memory optimized version of single-version
locking. Experimental results show that while single-version locking works well
when transactions are short and contention is low performance degrades under
more demanding conditions. The multiversion schemes have higher overhead but
are much less sensitive to hotspots and the presence of long-running
transactions. | Source: | arXiv, 1201.0228 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
