Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Compiled and Vectorized Queries But Were Afraid to Ask
Summary: Apples-to-apples comparison of vectorized and data-centric query processing in a single system. Vectorization hides cache-miss latency; data-centric compilation uses fewer instructions for cache-resident workloads, with SIMD and multi-core effects analyzed.
