On Benchmarking Transaction Managers

摘要

We describe an idea of measuring the performance of a transaction manager's performance. We design a very simple benchmark intended for evaluating this important component of a DB engine. Then we apply it to our own transaction manager's implementation. We also describe the implementation of the transaction manager itself. It is done as a software layer over the eXist database engine. It is a standalone module which can be used to extend eXist functionality by transactional processing when it is needed.
