MapD (http://www.mapd.com http://www.mapd.com) is building a hyper-interactive big data analytics and visualization platform running on multiple GPUs/CPUs. We basically do every performance trick in the book (like compiling our queries via LLVM and caching hot data on the GPU) to do this. The end result is the ability to scan billions of rows of data in milliseconds at rates greater than 2 terabytes/second per server when running on 8 Nvidia K80s (although we also get great results on laptops and even ARM cores.) And not only can you query the data with SQL but you can visualize it or feed it into machine learning algorithms without copies because it is already distributed across all available compute devices.
