<h1>Afterburner</h1>
<p class="lead">Interactive SQL analytics in your browser!</p>
</div>
<p>The advent of <a href="http://jupyter.org/">online notebooks</a> and
<a href="https://d3js.org/">complex browser-based interactive visualizations</a> means that the
browser has, in essence, become the "shell". However, in all
implementations that we are aware of, the browser is simply a dumb
rendering endpoint. However, modern browsers are capable of so much
more: they embed powerful JavaScript engines capable of
<a href="http://docs.google.com/">supporting real-time collaborative tools</a>,
<a href="http://browserquest.mozilla.org/">driving online multi-player games</a>,
<a href="https://www.chromeexperiments.com/webgl">rendering impressive 3D scenes</a>,
and even <a href="http://www.quakejs.com/">running first-person shooters</a>.</p>
<p>We asked ourselves: Is it possible to exploit modern JavaScript
engines and build a high-performance analytics database that runs
<i>completely in the browser</i>? Our answer is Afterburner, a
prototype analytical RDBMS implemented in JavaScript that executes
completely inside a web browser, is standards compliant, and has no
external dependencies. Afterburner generates compiled query plans
that exploit two JavaScript features:
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Typed_arrays">typed arrays</a> and
<a href="http://asmjs.org/">asm.js</a>.</p>
<p>How fast is Afterburner? Based on a standard data warehousing
benchmark (TPC-H), our systems is comparable in performance (query
latency) to an open-source columnar analytical database (MonetDB)
running natively on the same machine! For more details, see:</p>
