We propose the algorithms for performing multiway joins using a new type of coarse grain reconfigurable hardware accelerator –“Plasticine” – that, compared with other accelerators, emphasizes high compute capability and high on-chip communication bandwidth. Joining three or more relations in a single step, i.e. multiway join, is efficient when the join of any two relations yields too large an intermediate relation. We show at least 200X speedup for a sequence of binary hash joins execution on Plasticine over CPU. We further show that in some realistic cases, a Plasticine-like accelerator can make 3-way joins more efficient than a cascade of binary hash joins on the same hardware, by a factor of up to 45X.
