Mostly what I'm hearing here is: "You're using it wrong" "You should start up a Hadoop cluster, create a table, load the CSV into that table, then export it as Parquet, and then load that into S3, so that Athena can

One of the things Nvidia excels at, and has done very well in is supplying the right ecosystem for writing performant GPU code. This really pushed the adoption of GPUs forward. Writing good, fast, high performance code for many x86 nodes is

Actually, in columnar databases the ops/byte intensity is significantly greater, and the GPU helps here. If you think about how a database CAN be built, instead of how they were built until now, you will find that there are very intere

If you're running a rackmount server, you need the Tesla series. We found that the GeForces tend to burn out when under heavy load, whereas we've not had a single Tesla series ever burn out.

(OP here) - agree. The processing speed trade-off wouldn't be good in this case. That's my point ultimately - you should pick the right tools for what you're doing, and balance them make the most of each one.

In the end, most AI/DL implementations in products are fluff. It feels like a lot of products are about "HEY LOOK AT ME, I CAN DO IT TOO!", which screams immaturity of the concepts. From personal experience, many customers as

This is odd for NVIDIA. They usually push out revised versions in the second year, not change the entire architecture to the new one. Feels like they're feeling AMD breathing down their necks with their VEGA architecture, which should

The GPU may help in compressing and decompressing data, encrypting and decrypting as well as sorting it (block-wise) ahead of heavy operations. Compressing and decompressing are examples of reducing I/O, and shifting it over to compute
