Red Brick Warehouse: A Read-Mostly RDBMS for Open SMP Platforms

Summary: Read-mostly RDBMS for open SMP platforms; software-only, ANSI SQL tuned for high-intensity DSS workloads with large joins and sorts. Parallel processing and specialized algorithms scale on cost-effective hardware for massive databases with 50–500 concurrent users and frequent bulk loads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
