HOT: A Height Optimized Trie Index for Main-Memory Database Systems
Summary: Height Optimized Trie (HOT) - in-memory index with per-node dynamic bit-width to maximize fanout and cache locality. Compact node layout and SIMD-accelerated search deliver superior string-key performance and smaller memory footprint vs. state-of-the-art indexes, with competitive integer-key results; a general-purpose main-memory index for DBs.
