Paper Review: Concurrency Control Performance Modeling: Alternatives and Implications
Title and Author of Paper Concurrency Control Performance Modeling: Alternatives and Implications. R. Agrawal et al. Summary This paper takes an in-depth look at the performance implications of varying concurrency control algorithms. Specifically, it examines the performance of three concurrency methods: blocking, immediate-restart, and optimistic. In the blocking algorithm, all transactions set locks on objects that are read or written; whenever a lock request is denied, the requesting transaction is placed in a waiting queue until it can proceed (on deadlock, the youngest transaction is restarted)....
