Data Canopy: Accelerating Exploratory Statistical Analysis
Summary: Data Canopy provides an in-memory library of basic aggregates to reuse statistics across overlapping data parts, cutting recomputation in exploratory analysis. It decomposes stats into reusable aggregates, with storage/maintenance and hardware-aware tuning, yielding ~10x speedup after 100 queries vs. state-of-the-art.
