So how's the string support on BlazingSQL?
- lmeyerov 8y agoThe reason our team (graphistry) is working w/ the BlazingDB team is q's like this. BlazingSQL subsumes RAPIDS / cudf... which now includes the GPU-optimized nvstrings lib. And instead of a hacky grad student's GPU string lib, this is Nvidia's. We initially bet on OpenCL... but had to write almost everything ourselves. We then switched to GOAI, despite having to write much of Apache Arrow[JS], among other things. I love q's like that now that more and more pieces are falling into place with best-of-class tech. That's a big deal for our users, and helps our small punch above our weight for helping them. 2019 will be fun!
- felipe_aramburu 8y agoComing in the current sprint. We have a PR open agaisnt CUDF that brings string support to many of the CUDF algorithms. We will be using this branch in the meantime in our engine while we wait for the PR to be accepted.
