Database Processing-in-Memory: An Experimental Study

Summary: Experimental study of database SIMD operators on Processing-in-Memory (PIM) vs x86 AVX512, evaluating time and energy. Hybrid scheduling interleaves PIM and x86, yielding 45% faster queries and >2x energy savings across main query plans. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
