Efficient and Flexible Information Retrieval Using MonetDB/X100

Summary: Shows a hardware-conscious column-store (MonetDB/X100) can match custom IR engines using vectorized in-cache processing plus two lightweight RAM–cache compression schemes. Reports competitive speed/precision on TREC Terabyte and enables flexible IR experimentation via relational queries. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
