Boosting Efficiency of External Pipelines by Blurring Application Boundaries

Summary: GOLAP ingests external utilities as first-class DBMS components, using static analysis and runtime inspection to detect/elide inter-utility communication waste and expose cross-utility parallelism. Prototype Caesar rewrites and parallelizes pipelines, yielding up to 22× speedups with <17% instrumentation overhead, blurring application boundaries to reconcile composability and DBMS performance.
