DB2 with BLU Acceleration: So Much More than Just a Column Store
Summary: DB2 BLU executes predicates, joins, and aggregates directly on bit-aligned compressed data via SIMD, achieving 10–50× BI speedups without indexes or materialized views. Hardware-conscious, out-of-core execution integrates transparently with mature DB2. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
