RAPID: In-Memory Analytical Query Processing Engine with Extreme Performance per Watt

Summary: RAPID is a hardware/software co-designed, in-memory, columnar analytic engine for SQL workloads. It achieves extreme performance-per-watt gains over modern DBMS via a purpose-built, low-power processor and architecture-aware optimizations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
