SIGMOD 2009 Reviews
Summary of the paper's main contributions and impact The paper implements a sliding median operator over 8 data values in a data stream. An FPGA implementation is described, and compared with several CPU-based [...] Three weak points of the paper (please number them W1,W2,W3) W1. I am not convinced that the median-of-8 operator is an operator whose performance is worth optimizing in a database context. No evidence is [...] more of a challenge for an FPGA implementation. I don't see anything special about a window of size 8 in a database context. Would author feedback be useful for this Review? (if "Yes", please answer Q. …
