Demonstration of Chestnut: An In-memory Data Layout Designer for Database Applications
Summary: Chestnut is an in-memory data-layout designer for OO DB apps; given an app and memory budget, it yields layout and query plans. Demo visualizes layouts, supports iteration, and compares Chestnut-generated queries to relational plans, showing speedups. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
