Distributed on-disk database systems could either use an expensive commit protocol like
two-phase commit (2PC) to guarantee atomicity, and suffer from slow distributed …

Existing disaggregated memory (DM) systems face a problem of underutilized far memory
bandwidth, which greatly limits the data throughput when processing data-intensive …

Cloud-native databases become increasingly popular while exposing to greater data
security and correctness risks. Existing verifiable outsourced databases overlook either the …

Distributed databases have been widely researched and developed in recent years due to
their scalability, availability, and consistency guarantees. The write-ahead logging (WAL) …

Optimizing distributed protocols has traditionally been a real pain, requiring experts to figure
out where improvements can be made, along with rigorous correctness proofs and …

Atomic commit protocols (ACPs) are crucial for ensuring transaction atomicity in distributed
transaction processing. However, existing ACPs, designed specifically for fixed failure …

We present a summary of non-transactional consistency levels in the context of distributed
data replication protocols. The levels are built upon a practical object pool model and are …

This article is a summary of eight of Jim Gray's transaction papers. It was written at the
invitation of Pat Helland to be a chapter of a forthcoming book in the ACM Turing Award …

In a geo-distributed database, data shards and their respective replicas are deployed in
distinct datacenters across multiple regions, enabling regional-level disaster recovery and …

This paper argues for decoupling transaction processing from existing two-layer cloud-
native databases and making transaction processing as an independent service. By building …
