An Experimental Comparison of Thirteen Relational Equi-Joins in Main Memory

Summary: End-to-end and white-box comparison of thirteen in-memory equi-joins. Assesses write-combine buffers, hash-table variants, NUMA-aware placement, and radix partitioning; analyzes scalability with data size, threads, page size, and distributions in a TPC-H setting.
