- **Description**: CPU-intensive algorithmic work such as sorting datasets or
building hash tables entirely within the allocated `work_mem`. If this
overflows, it triggers `IO` (BufFileWrite/Read).
- **Operations**:
- [[Operations/Sort]]
- [[Operations/Hash]]
- [[Operations/HashJoin]]
- [[Operations/Unique]]
- **Resources**: [[Resources/CPU|CPU]], [[Resources/Memory|Memory]]
