Bridging Two Worlds with RICE: Integrating R into the SAP In-Memory Computing Engine

Summary: RICE couples R with SAP’s in-memory engine via SQL-SHM, a shared-memory exchange preserving R’s columnar structures. R-Op embeds R scripts as parallelizable join/aggregation operators in database execution plans, exposing R through SQL without modifying the interpreter. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
