SIMD-Scan: Ultra Fast in-Memory Table Scan using on-Chip Vector Processing Units
Summary: SIMD-Scan accelerates compressed column-store scans using on-chip SIMD units in commodity CPUs, avoiding GPUs/FPGAs, hardware changes, and data copies. An SSE implementation in SAP BW demonstrates substantial speedups and analyzes multicore scaling. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
