MILC: Inverted List Compression in Memory
Summary: MILC targets the memory-resident inverted-list gap, combining offset-oriented fixed-bit encoding, dynamic partitioning, cache awareness, and SIMD. Across IR, database, and graph workloads, it delivers up to 13.2× faster queries and 4.7× lower space than 12 baselines. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
