Uncovering the Internals of the DuckDB Relational Database System
DuckDB is a lightweight relational database system whose internals are engineered to exploit the capabilities of modern hardware (multi-threaded CPUs and large RAM sizes, say). This seminar explores the algorithms, data structures, and grand ideas that let this young system outperform the established DBMS competitors. Students will each study one paper that explains a selected DuckDB component and also practically demonstrate how the published techniques “make the duck fly.”
