Abstract

How to exploit application semantics to improve the performance of a real-time data-intensive application has been an active research topic in the past few years. Weaker correctness criteria and semantics-based concurrency control algorithms were proposed to provide more flexibility in reordering read and write events [4], [7], [8], [9], [18], [19], [22]. Distinct from past work, this paper exploits the trade-off between data consistency and system workload. The definition of similarity [8] is combined with the idea of transaction skipping to provide a theoretical foundation for reducing the workload of a transaction system. We also propose guidelines to adjust the execution frequencies of a static set of transactions and prove their correctness. The strengths of this work were verified by simulation experiments on an air traffic control example [20].
