MapD Fires Up GPU Cloud Service
In the long run, provided there are enough API pipes into the code, software as a service might be the most popular way to consume applications and systems software for all but the largest organizations that are running at such a scale that they can command almost as good prices for components as the public cloud intermediaries. …

Crunching Machine Learning And Databases Together On GPUs
While it is always best to have the right tool for the job, it is better still if a tool can be used by multiple jobs and therefore have its utilization be higher than it might otherwise be. …

Pushing A Trillion Row Database With GPU Acceleration
There is an arms race in the nascent market for GPU-accelerated databases, and the winner will be the one that can scale to the largest datasets while also providing the most compatibility with industry-standard SQL. …

Ganging up Accelerators to Beat Scale Limits
It is not news that offloading work from CPUs to GPUs can grant radical speedups, but what can come as a surprise is that scaling of these workloads doesn’t change just because they run faster. …

MapD GPU Database Looks Forward To Heftier Iron
While GPUs are commonly used to accelerate massively parallel compute jobs that are behind simulations, media rendering, or machine learning algorithms, the next wave of growth could come from databases, thereby upsetting the balance of power in get another part of the datacenter infrastructure. …

GPU Accelerators Radically Boost SQL Queries
In-memory databases are all the rage for very fast query processing, but you have to have the right balance of compute and memory for queries against in-memory databases to really scream. …
