The Accelerated Path To Petabyte-Scale Graph Databases

October 28, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

Database acceleration using specialized co-processors is nothing new. Just to give a few examples, data warehouses running on the Netezza platform, owned by IBM for more than a decade now, uses a custom and parallelized PostgreSQL database matched to FPGA acceleration for database and storage routines. …
