Quote: review concurrency control methods with reduced lock contention, indices, aggregate data, transactions, relaxed queries

Quote: use a special pause thread if reads much more frequent than writes; each read thread need only prevent its own preemption [»smaaB2_2006]

Quote: implemented lock-free malloc (LFMalloc) with MP-RCS; one heap per CPU, low latency, scalable, memory and cache efficient

Quote: use MP-RCS for restartable critical sessions and processor-specific threads without locking; uses upcalls to restart interrupted critical sections [»diceD2_2003]

Quote: MP-RCS restarts critical sections at beginning of a time quantum; stale sections use upcalls to initiate a restart [»diceD2_2003]

Quote: MP-RCS critical sections written in assembler without destroying input arguments

Quote: implement a lock-free, concurrent object with load_linked and store_conditional operations [»herlM11_1993]

Quote: use exponential backoff for lock-free concurrency; otherwise unsuccessful programs generate most of the bus traffic
