Recent advances in graphics processing units (GPUs) have opened a new frontier in query processing and database systems. Leveraging the massively parallel architecture of GPUs, modern database engines ...

The tide is changing for analytics architectures. Traditional approaches, from the data warehouse to the data lake, implicitly assume that all relevant data can be stored in a single, centralized ...

AWS has announced Parallel Query for Amazon Aurora. According to the company, this provides faster analytical queries over transactional data that can speed up queries by up to 2 orders of magnitude, ...

Many programs have a tough time spanning across high levels of concurrency, but if they are cleverly coded, databases can make great use of massively parallel compute based in hardware to radically ...

What is good for the simulation and the machine learning is, as it turns out, also good for the database. The performance and thermal limits of traditional CPUs have made GPUs the go-to accelerator ...
