Design and Evaluation of Main Memory Hash Join Algorithms for Multi-core CPUs
Summary: Examines main-memory, multi-core hash joins by deconstructing phases and evaluating variants on two CPUs. Simple, non-partitioned shared-hash-table often matches complex methods, especially under skew; suggests adding it to DBMS toolkits and optimizer strategies. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
