BitWeaving: Fast Scans for Main Memory Data Processing

Summary: BitWeaving exploits bit-level parallelism to scan in-memory data at near-CPU speeds, processing many bits from multiple columns per cycle. It offers BitWeaving/V (column-like bit packing) and BitWeaving/H (horizontal packing) with a predicate framework, delivering substantial speedups over state-of-the-art.
