An Array-Based Algorithm for Simultaneous Multidimensional Aggregates

Summary: Array-based MOLAP algorithm for computing the Cube on sparse multidimensional arrays. With compression, it outperforms leading ROLAP cube algorithms and suggests converting tables to arrays before cubing to accelerate OLAP workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
