Relaxed Operator Fusion for In-Memory Databases: Making Compilation, Vectorization, and Prefetching Work Together At Last

Summary: Introduces relaxed operator fusion, strategically staging JIT-compiled plans to reconcile SIMD vectorization and software prefetching across operators. Implemented in Peloton, it accelerates cache-resident-challenging OLAP workloads up to 2.2× and outperforms HyPer and Actian Vector. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
