Parallel I/O Aware Query Optimization
Summary: Exploits SSD I/O parallelism to speed up query processing, focusing on scan operators. Proposes a calibration-based I/O cost model using queue depth and device heterogeneity; implemented in SAP SQL Anywhere to yield near-optimal, device-agnostic plans.
