DB on GPUs

Upgrade your video card - get better database performance?  Perhaps in the near future...



Execution time of a predicate evaluation with 60% selectivity by a CPU-based algorithm and a GPU-based algorithm. Timings for the GPU-based algorithm include the time to copy data values into the depth buffer. Considering only the computation time, the GPU is nearly 20 times faster than a compiler-optimized SIMD implementation
