Concurrency Control Performance Modeling: Alternatives and Implications
01 January 1987
A number of recent studies have examined the performance of concurrency control algorithms for database management Systems. In this paper, rather than presenting "yet another algorithm performance study", we critically investigate the assumptions made in the models used in past studies and their implications. We employ a complete model of a database environment to study the relative performance of three different approaches to the concurrency control problem under a variety of modeling assumptions.
