Abstract :
We investigate the feasibility of systematic speculative processing in the context of Optimistic Atomic Broadcast (OAB) based replication of database systems. Specifically, we present the design and prototypal implementation of a fully speculative version of the Postgre SQL open source relational database, together with experimental results showing performance advantages over non-speculative replication.
