Heh ... when I saw the speedup numbers, the first thing I wondered was ... index? Regardless, this is impressive work. Do you have a tech report you can point to for someone to get more details? I'd love to learn more about your setup. Also, would you mind describing your programming background? I have a cs PhD and I admit I never had the guts to get into GPUs! You've given me a whole lot of motivation!
- tmostak 13y agoThanks! Yeah I'd like to revisit this benchmark soon (I'm actually working on rendering choropleths on the GPU now). I'm working on a database paper that will hopefully be ready for VLDB submission by next month - that would probably be the best. In terms of CS background - nothing formal except for AP comp sci I took in high school like 12 years ago. However I've always loved hacking on things on the side, and a combination of my research on the Middle East/burning desire to make an Iphone app kind of got me back into it. Then to be fair I took a GPU Graphics class (basically OpenGL) at Harvard and then a Database course at MIT while doing my Masters in ME Studies, which is where this project started.
