Interleaving with coroutines: a systematic and practical approach to hide memory latency in index joins

Anastasia Ailamaki, Georgios Psaropoulos

Index joins present a case of pointer-chasing code that causes data cache misses. In principle, we can hide these cache misses by overlapping them with computation: The lookups involved in an index join are parallel tasks whose execution can be interleaved ...
