Abstract: An approach is provided in which a processor receives a scan request to scan data included in a data table. The processor selects a column in the data table corresponding to the scan request and retrieves column data entries from the selected column. In addition, the processor identifies the width of the selected column and selects a scan algorithm based upon the identified column width. In turn, the processor loads the column data entries into column data vectors and computes scan results from the column data vectors using the selected scan algorithm.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for managing hardware breakpoints within a computing environment comprising a processor and a memory unit with addressable words being extended using metadata. A setting or deleting of a breakpoint is issued at a specific address within the memory unit by forwarding from the processor to the memory unit the metadata. An addressable word is requested from the memory unit by forwarding a physical address of the addressable word via an address bus from the processor to the memory unit. The physical address is decoded to find the addressable word within the memory unit. Responsive to the metadata associated with the addressable word being available, the metadata is provided to the processor. A checking is made as to whether a breakpoint is set in the metadata. Responsive to the breakpoint being found in the metadata, an interrupt is triggered thereby executing the breakpoint.
