TLDR
This paper gives a brief overview of the MonetDB technology as it developed over the past two decades and the main research highlights which drive the current Monet DB design and form the basis for its future evolution.Abstract:
MonetDB is a state-of-the-art open-source column-store database management system targeting applications in need for analytics over large collections of data. MonetDB is actively used nowadays in
health care, in telecommunications as well as in scientific databases and in data management research,
accumulating on average more than 10,000 downloads on a monthly basis. This paper gives a brief
overview of the MonetDB technology as it developed over the past two decades and the main research
highlights which drive the current MonetDB design and form the basis for its future evolution.read more

TL;DR: The current RDBMS code lines, while attempting to be a "one size fits all" solution, in fact, excel at nothing and should be retired in favor of a collection of "from scratch" specialized engines.

Diversified Stress Testing of RDF Data Management Systems
TL;DR: This work performs an in-depth experimental analysis that shows existing SPARQL benchmarks are not suitable for testing systems for diverse queries and varied workloads and provides stress testing tools for RDF data management systems, and uses the Waterloo SParQL Diversity Test Suite (WatDiv) to address these shortcomings.

TL;DR: Widx is introduced, an on-chip accelerator for database hash index lookups, which achieves both high performance and flexibility by decoupling key hashing from the list traversal, and processing multiple keys in parallel on a set of programmable walker units.

The Design and Implementation of Modern Column-Oriented Database Systems
TL;DR: The design and implementation of modern column-oriented database systems can be found in this paper, with a specific focus on three influential research prototypes, MonetDB, C-Store, and X100, which form the basis for several well-known commercial column-store implementations.

MonetDB/X100: Hyper-Pipelining Query Execution
TL;DR: An in-depth investigation to the reason why database systems tend to achieve only low IPC on modern CPUs in compute-intensive application areas, and a new set of guidelines for designing a query processor for the MonetDB system that follows these guidelines.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Super-Scalar RAM-CPU Cache Compression
TL;DR: This work proposes three new versatile compression schemes (PDICT, PFOR, and PFOR-DELTA) that are specifically designed to extract maximum IPC from modern CPUs and compares these algorithms with compression techniques used in (commercial) database and information retrieval systems.

Database Architecture Optimized for the New Bottleneck: Memory Access
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss how vertically fragmented data structures optimize cache performance on sequential data access, and introduce radix algorithms for partitioned hash-join, which are quantified using a detailed analytical model that incorporates memory access cost.

MonetDB/XQuery: a fast XQuery processor powered by a relational engine
TL;DR: The main features, key contributions, and lessons learned while implementing a purely relational XQuery system, which implements all essential XML database functionalities such that it can learn from the full consequences of the architectural decisions.

Breaking the memory wall in MonetDB
TL;DR: This paper reports how research around the MonetDB database system has led to a redesign of database architecture in order to take advantage of modern hardware, and in particular to avoid hitting the memory wall.
