Abstract: | I will revisit the seminal 1994 paper [1] by Goetz Graefe that describes the parallel Volcano query evaluation model. I will talk about the power of the Volcano model, its relevance to the hardware landscape today (SSDs, in-memory stores, massively multi-core systems), and the engineering challenges of getting it implemented correctly.
