Abstract
An integrated circuit and method are disclosed for processing of compressed columnar data. The processing of compressed columnar data includes loading compressed columnar data associated with a first and a second column into a first on-chip buffer, performing time-shared processing of the compressed columnar data from the first on-chip buffer into a second on-chip buffer, transcoding the compressed columnar data from the second on-chip buffer into unified columnar data having a unified format, loading the unified columnar data into a third on-chip buffer so that the unified columnar data are logically aligned in the third on-chip buffer, and providing at least a portion of the unified columnar data to a query operator. The integrated circuit includes a column loader, a balancer, a transcoder, and a decoder for performing processing of the compressed columnar data.
