TLDR
In this paper, Sort, Scan and DebitCredit benchmarks are defined, which measure the performance of diverse transaction processing systems, and a standard system cost measure is stated and used to define price/performance metrics.Abstract:
Three benchmarks are defined: Sort, Scan and DebitCredit. The first two benchmarks measure a system's input/output performance. DebitCredit is a simple transaction processing application used to define a throughput measure -Transactions Per Second (TPS). These benchmarks measure the performance of diverse transaction processing systems. A standard system cost measure is stated and used to define price/performance metrics.

The log-structured merge-tree (LSM-tree)
TL;DR: The log-structured mergetree (LSM-tree) is a disk-based data structure designed to provide low-cost indexing for a file experiencing a high rate of record inserts (and deletes) over an extended period.

The Case for Shared Nothing.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that shared nothing is the preferred approach in building high transaction rate multiprocessor systems, namely, shared memory (e.g., Synapse, IBM/AP configurations), shared disk (i.e., VAX/cluster, any multi-ported disk system), and shared nothing.

Scalability in the XFS file system
TL;DR: The architecture and design of a new file system, XFS, for Silicon Graphics' IRIX operating system is described, and the use of B+ trees in place of many of the more traditional linear file system structures are discussed.

The implementation of POSTGRES
TL;DR: The design and implementation decisions made for the three-dimensional data manager POSTGRES are discussed, and attention is restricted to the DBMS backend functions.
