Abstract

Techniques for performing database operations using vectorized instructions are provided. In one technique, a hash table probe phase involves executing vectorized instructions to determine where in a bucket a particular key is located. This determination may be preceded by one or more vectorized instructions that are used to determine whether the bucket contains the particular key.
