GOLAP: A GPU-in-Data-Path Architecture for High-Speed OLAP

Summary: GOLAP proposes a GPU-in-data-path for OLAP, streaming compressed blocks from SSDs into the GPU and decompressing on-the-fly during scans. It uses GPU-optimized pruning to boost read bandwidth, reaching up to 100 GiB/s and outperforming systems. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
