Abstract :
An analytic model is presented for the performance of a commit protocol which considers both the communication and local processing. It is shown that the local queuing delays are significant when the number of atomic actions is sufficiently large. The single most important parameter in determining the effect of commit protocols on the system performance is believed to be the heavy dependence on logging and hence the high performance penalities exacted by I/O operations
