Simulating Distributed Database Operating Systems and Evaluating Concurrency Control Protocol Performance (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Explore how a practical distributed database simulator evaluates concurrency control, revealing what really affects performance. Learn how researchers measure throughput, delays, and abort rates under realistic conditions.
This book explains the design of a distributed database operating system and its simulator. It shows how researchers test different concurrency control protocols in a centralized setup to understand their true strengths and limits, while accounting for CPU, I/O, and network delays. The discussion includes how the simulator models transactions, schedulers, and data managers, and how results are interpreted to guide system design.
- See how the simulator separates protocol logic from system-wide factors like delays and hardware performance.
- Compare four protocols—NO, 2PL, TS, and 5C—and learn where each shines or struggles.
- Learn about the metrics used, such as throughput, dilation, and aborts, and what they reveal about efficiency.
- Discover design choices that help ensure correctness and meaningful, reproducible results.
