Engineering High-Performance Database Engines

Summary: Survey two DB engines—disk-based RDF-3X and in-memory HyPer—on architecture choices for scaling with data and hardware. Compares design decisions and optimization techniques across SPARQL and relational workloads, highlighting cross-engine trade-offs in high-performance data systems.
