Late answer but showing one more possibility...
Cumulative Sum generation can be more optimized with the CROSS APPLY logic.
Works better than the INNER JOIN & OVER Clause when analyzed the actual query plan ...
/* Create table & populate data */
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#TMP') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #TMP
SELECT * INTO #TMP
FROM (
SELECT 1 AS id
UNION
SELECT 2 AS id
UNION
SELECT 3 AS id
UNION
SELECT 4 AS id
UNION
SELECT 5 AS id
) Tab
/* Using CROSS APPLY
Query cost relative to the batch 17%
*/
SELECT T1.id,
T2.CumSum
FROM #TMP T1
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT SUM(T2.id) AS CumSum
FROM #TMP T2
WHERE T1.id >= T2.id
) T2
/* Using INNER JOIN
Query cost relative to the batch 46%
*/
SELECT T1.id,
SUM(T2.id) CumSum
FROM #TMP T1
INNER JOIN #TMP T2
ON T1.id > = T2.id
GROUP BY T1.id
/* Using OVER clause
Query cost relative to the batch 37%
*/
SELECT T1.id,
SUM(T1.id) OVER( PARTITION BY id)
FROM #TMP T1
Output:-
id CumSum
------- -------
1 1
2 3
3 6
4 10
5 15
