Storage as a Service (StaaS) is a vital component of cloud computing by offering the vision
of a virtually infinite pool of storage resources. It supports a variety of cloud-based data store …

We present DrTM, a fast in-memory transaction processing system that exploits advanced
hardware features (ie, RDMA and HTM) to improve latency and throughput by over one …

Application programmers increasingly prefer distributed storage systems with strong
consistency and distributed transactions (eg, Google's Spanner) for their strong guarantees …

There is currently an active debate on which RDMA primitive (ie, one-sided or two-sided) is
optimal for distributed transactions. Such a debate has led to a number of optimizations …

Lock managers are widely used by distributed systems. Traditional centralized lock
managers can easily support policies between multiple users using global knowledge, but …

Persistent memory (PM) disaggregation improves the resource utilization and failure
isolation to build a scalable and cost-effective remote memory pool. However, due to offering …

Recent transaction processing systems attempt to leverage advanced hardware features like
RDMA and HTM to significantly boost performance, which, however, pose several limitations …

© 2020, VLDB Endowment. Deterministic databases are able to efficiently run transactions
across different replicas without coordination. However, existing state-of-the-art deterministic …

In order to guarantee recoverable transaction execution, database systems permit a
transaction's writes to be observable only at the end of its execution. As a consequence …

Replicated storage for large Web services faces a trade-off between stronger forms of
consistency and higher performance properties. Stronger consistency prevents anomalies …
