Rethinking Analytical Processing in the GPU Era
The era of GPU-powered data analytics has arrived. In this paper, we argue that recent advances in hardware (e.g., larger GPU memory, faster interconnect and IO, and declining cost) and software (e.g., composable data systems and mature libraries) have removed the key barriers that have limited the wider adoption of GPU data analytics. We present Sirius, a prototype open-source GPU-native SQL engine that offers drop-in acceleration for diverse data systems. Sirius treats GPU as the primary engi…
