Accelerating Raw Data Analysis with the ACCORDA Software and Hardware Architecture

Summary: ACCORDA: encoding-aware operator interfaces with a uniform runtime for raw data. UDP in memory accelerates parsing/decompression 16–21x and deserialization up to 160x, yielding 2.9x–13.2x speedups vs SparkSQL and ~80% gains from encoding-driven optimizations.
