Database Architecture Optimized for the New Bottleneck: Memory Access

Summary: Reframes database performance around memory latency rather than CPU, using scans and hardware counters to quantify TLB/cache costs. Advocates vertically fragmented layouts, memory-aware analytical modeling, and access patterns validated in Monet. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
