cs4432concurrency control3 Concepts Transaction: sequence of r i (x), w i (x) actions Conflicting actions: r 1(A) w 2(A) w 1(A) w 2(A) r 1(A) w 2(A) Schedule: represents chronological order in which actions are executed Serial schedule: no interleaving of actions or transactions

cs4432concurrency control4 A ReCap Examples of Main Concepts are given next.

cs4432concurrency control5 Example: T1:Read(A)T2:Read(A) A  A+100A  A  2Write(A)Read(B) B  B+100B  B  2Write(B) Constraint: A=B

cs4432concurrency control6 Schedule C T1T2 Read(A); A  A+100 Write(A); Read(A);A  A  2; Write(A); Read(B); B  B+100; Write(B); Read(B);B  B  2; Write(B); AB

cs4432concurrency control7 Sc’=r 1 (A)w 1 (A) r 1 (B)w 1 (B)r 2 (A)w 2 (A)r 2 (B)w 2 (B) T 1 T 2 Example: Sc=r 1 (A)w 1 (A)r 2 (A)w 2 (A)r 1 (B)w 1 (B)r 2 (B)w 2 (B)

cs4432concurrency control8 Returning to Sc Sc=r 1 (A)w 1 (A)r 2 (A)w 2 (A)r 1 (B)w 1 (B)r 2 (B)w 2 (B) T 1  T 2 T 1  T 2  no cycles  Sc is “equivalent” to a serial schedule, I.e., in this case (T 1,T 2 ).

cs4432concurrency control9 Schedule D T1T2 Read(A); A  A+100 Write(A); Read(A);A  A  2; Write(A); Read(B);B  B  2; Write(B); Read(B); B  B+100; Write(B); AB

cs4432concurrency control10 Now for Sd: Sd=r 1 (A)w 1 (A)r 2 (A)w 2 (A) r 2 (B)w 2 (B)r 1 (B)w 1 (B) Sd=r 1 (A)w 1 (A) r 1 (B)w 1 (B)r 2 (A)w 2 (A)r 2 (B)w 2 (B) T1 T2

cs4432concurrency control11 Or, let’s try for Sd: Sd=r 1 (A)w 1 (A)r 2 (A)w 2 (A) r 2 (B)w 2 (B)r 1 (B)w 1 (B) Sd=r 2 (A)w 2 (A)r 2 (B)w 2 (B) r 1 (A)w 1 (A)r 1 (B)w 1 (B) T1 T2

cs4432concurrency control12 For Schedule D: Sd=r 1 (A)w 1 (A)r 2 (A)w 2 (A) r 2 (B)w 2 (B)r 1 (B)w 1 (B) there seems to be no save way to transform this S-D into an equivalent serial schedule?

cs4432concurrency control13 For Schedule D: Sd=r 1 (A)w 1 (A)r 2 (A)w 2 (A) r 2 (B)w 2 (B)r 1 (B)w 1 (B) T 1  T 2 T 2  T 1 T 1 T 2 Sd cannot be rearranged into serial schedule

cs4432concurrency control14 Definition S 1, S 2 are conflict equivalent schedules if S 1 can be transformed into S 2 by a series of swaps on non-conflicting actions.

cs4432concurrency control15 Definition A schedule is conflict serializable if it is conflict equivalent to some serial schedule.

cs4432concurrency control16 Answer: A Precedence Graph ! How determine this ?

cs4432concurrency control17 Nodes: transactions in S Arcs: Ti  Tj whenever - p i (A), q j (A) are actions in S - p i (A) < S q j (A) - at least one of p i, q j is a write Precedence graph P(S) (S is schedule )

cs4432concurrency control18 Exercise: What is P(S) for S = w 3 (A) w 2 (C) r 1 (A) w 1 (B) r 1 (C) w 2 (A) r 4 (A) w 4 (D) Is S serializable?

cs4432concurrency control19 Another Exercise: What is P(S) for S = w 1 (A) r 2 (A) r 3 (A) w 4 (A) ? Is S serializable?

cs4432concurrency control20 Lemma S 1, S 2 conflict equivalent  P(S 1 )=P(S 2 ) Proof: Assume P(S 1 )  P(S 2 )   T i : T i  T j in S 1 and not in S 2  S 1 = …p i (A)... q j (A)… p i, q j S 2 = …q j (A)…p i (A)... conflict  S 1, S 2 not conflict equivalent

cs4432concurrency control21 Note: P(S 1 )=P(S 2 )  S 1, S 2 conflict equivalent Counter example: S 1 =w 1 (A) r 2 (A) w 2 (B) r 1 (B) S 2 =r 2 (A) w 1 (A) r 1 (B) w 2 (B)

cs4432concurrency control22 Theorem P(S 1 ) acyclic  S 1 conflict serializable (  ) Assume S 1 is conflict serializable   S s : S s, S 1 conflict equivalent  P(S s ) = P(S 1 )  P(S 1 ) acyclic since P(S s ) is acyclic

cs4432concurrency control23 (  ) Assume P(S 1 ) is acyclic Transform S 1 as follows: (1) Take T 1 to be transaction with no incident arcs (2) Move all T 1 actions to the front S 1 = ……. q j (A)……. p 1 (A)….. (3) we now have S 1 = (4) repeat above steps to serialize rest! T 1 T 2 T 3 T 4 Theorem P(S 1 ) acyclic  S 1 conflict serializable
