Overview
Many problems of MonetDB were addressed by a new system, developed in the same research group at CWI, called VectorWise.
The main innocatio in VectorWise is its vectorized execution model which strikes a balance between full materialization of intermediate results in MonetDB and the high functional overhead of tuple-at-a-time iterators in tranditional systems.
VectorWise processes one block/vector of a column at a time as opposed to one column-at-a-time or one tuple-at-a-time.
