Bringing Compiling Databases to RISC Architectures

Summary: Maps query compilation design space to RISC/AArch64 vs x86-64, identifying architecture-specific challenges and trade-offs between standard compiler infra and domain-specific code generators. Introduces FireARM for Umbra and shows domain-specific generators cut compile latency while standard infra eases portability and sustains high throughput. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
