Anybody tried PG-Strom in production?
- usgroup 8y agoPersonally I'm most excited about PGStrom, because it means faster Postgres all the time, not just when it fits into memory, and not just for SQL.
- arnon 8y agoIt appears to be, more than anything else, some CUDA code wrapped in UDFs. Not sure I'd want that anywhere near my production stuff in that format.
- usgroup 8y agoThis is false. PG has a well defined and modular query engine. pgstrom works by replacing and adding modules which allow for GPU support.
- arnon 8y agoYou're right, I got confused with another Postgres-GPU plugin type product. However, Postgres isn't columnar. How does PG-Strom (now HeteroDB) arrange data for the GPU properly?
- felipe_aramburu 8y agoAlso to be clear as of right now the only thing that has to fit in memory are the inputs and the outputs to this system since these are being passed via CUDA IPC.
