Ans:

With the availability of a Multi-Core CPUs, a higher CPU execution speeds can be achieved.Also, HANA Column-based on storage makes it easy to execute operations in parallel using a multiple processor cores. In a column store data is already vertically be partitioned. This means that operations on various columns can easily be processed in a parallel. If multiple columns need to be searched or aggregated, each of these operations can be assigned to a various processor core.In addition, operations on one column can be parallelized by a partitioning the column into a multiple sections that can be processed by a various processor cores. With the SAP HANA database, queries can be executed rapidly and in a parallel.

‘Operational Data Store’ or ‘ODS’ is used for a detailed storage of data. It is a BW architectural component that appears between the PSA ( Persistent Staging Area) and infocubes, it allows a BEX (Business Explorer) reporting. It is primarily used for detail reporting rather than a dimensional analysis, and it is not based on a star schema. ODS (Operational Data Store) objects do not aggregate data as a infocubes do. To load the data into IDS object, new records are inserted, existing records are updated, or old records are deleted as specified by a RECORDMODE value.
