Specialized Evolution of the General-Purpose CPU
Summary: Commodity CPUs increasingly include specialized primitives (SIMD/FP, compression, crypto, sync, integrated FPGA), turning servers into heterogeneous platforms. Paper surveys industrial trade-offs and outlines how DB software can exploit these evolving on‑chip specializations. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
