Towards Optimal Transaction Scheduling

Overview

Maximizing transaction throughput is key to high-performance database systems that minimize data access conflicts to improve performance. In this session recording from HTAP Summit 2024, you’ll systematically explore the entire schedule space, from proactively identifying efficient schedules to executing them precisely during execution to improve throughput. You’ll also learn about a greedy scheduling policy—SMF—that efficiently finds fast schedules to achieve up to a 3.9x increase in throughput and a 3.2x reduction in tail latency on a range of benchmarks and real-world workloads.
