I was part of the panel discussion at the end of the 2nd day discussing hardware acceleration for query processing. before the panel there were very interesting talks about various approaches on how to get to the end goal, which is to efficiently use hardware (non-x86 CPUs, so mostly either GPUs or FPGAs/custom chips) to speed up queries.
- winwang 1y agoSince you mentioned non-x86, how are things on the ARM side? I believe I heard AWS's Graviton + Correto combo was a huge increase for JVM efficiency. FPGAs... I somehow highly doubt their efficiency in terms of being the "core" (heh) processor. However, "compute storage" with FPGAs right next to the flash is really interesting.
