Processor design has moved away from relying on higher frequencies which require more power to parallelism, in which the CPU contains more cores and can perform more work per time unit. Applications ...

The process to vectorize application code is very important and can result in major performance improvements when coupled with vector hardware. In many cases, incremental work can mean a large payoff ...

Although a serious engineering challenge, database vectorization delivers orders-of-magnitude performance boosts for a real-time analytics engine such as StarRocks. Here’s how we did it. Improving ...
