Here is the abstract:

A vector instruction set is a well known method for exposing bandwidth
to applications.  Although extensively studied in the scientific
programming community, scant work exists on vectorizing other kinds of
applications. This work examines vectorizing a traditional database
operation, a Grace hash-join. We how how to vectorize both the hash
and join phases of the algorithm, and present pre formance results ona
Cray C90 as well as traditional micro-processors. We con cluded that
vector scatter-gather and compress are essential to to both this
algorithm as well as to other non-scientific codes.
