Graphics Chips Help Process Big Data Sets in Milliseconds: A new database tool dramatica
MapD is a software system that is designed to run on a hybrid architecture of GPUs and CPUs. Every modern computer has at least one CPU, and increasingly computer CPUs are divided into more than one sub-processing unit, called cores. It is not uncommon, as of early 2013,
Known as MapD, or massively parallel database, the new technology achieves big speed gains by storing the data in the onboard memory of graphics processing units (GPUs) instead of in central processing units (CPUs), as is conventional. Using a single high-performance GPU card can make data processing up to 70 times faster.
