Science & Technology at Work

MonetDB achieves its goal by innovations at all layers of a DBMS, e.g. a storage model based on vertical fragmentation, a modern CPU-tuned query execution architecture, automatic and self-tuning indexes, run-time query optimization, and a modular software architecture. In-depth information on the technical innovations in the design and implementation of MonetDB can be found in our science library.
