Papers We Love: Brooklyn — GenDB & Bespoke OLAP Edition

Papers We Love and Espresso AI are pleased to present the first of our summer series. Papers We Love is a community of programmers who love reading and discussing computer science papers. We'll discuss the following two papers: Gen DB (The Next Generation of Query Processing) and Bespoke OLAP (Synthesizing Workload Specific Database Engines). What was the last paper within the realm of computing you read and loved? What did it inspire you to build or tinker with? Come share the ideas in an awesome academic or research paper with fellow engineers, programmers, and paper-readers. Lead a session and show off code you wrote that implements these ideas, or just give us the lowdown on the paper. Otherwise, just come, listen, learn, and discuss. Alex Kouzemtchenko, CTO of Espresso AI, will discuss: • GenDB: The Next Generation of Query Processing — Synthesized, Not Engineered https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.02081 • Bespoke OLAP: Synthesizing Workload-Specific One-size-fits-one Database Engines https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.02001 6:30pm - Doors 7:00pm - Speakers begin PwL curate a repository of papers and places to find them. Contributions welcome via PR. Join the PWL Discord and hop into the #nyc channel: https://discord.gg/B7aHhwBb8r Papers We Love has a Code of Conduct. Be good to each other and to the PWL community.
