BlazingDB has spent the past six months working on an open-source project (libgdf) alongside Anaconda and Nvidia. Libgdf is a library of computational primitives on top of a memory layout which is similar to Apache Arrow but optimized for GPUs. We have created a distributed, GPU-accelerated ETL pipeline that takes a user from reading data in Parquet, to performing SQL... Read More

This talk will present SQream's journey to building an analytics data warehouse powered by GPUs. SQream DB is an SQL data warehouse designed for larger than main-memory datasets (up to petabytes). It's an on-disk database that combines novel ideas and algorithms to rapidly analyze trillions of rows with the help of high-throughput GPUs. We will explore some of SQream's ideas... Read More

In this talk Todd Mostak, Founder and CEO of MapD Technologies, will speak about the technical underpinnings of MapD, an open-source GPU-accelerated SQL engine and visual analytics platform that enables querying and visualization of large datasets (tens of billions of records) in milliseconds, without indexing or or other forms of pre-computation. While some of this performance can be attributed to... Read More

[DB Seminar] Fall 2018: System Design Planning with Prashanth Menon

Speaker:

Prashanth Menon

This meeting will be entirely about discussing the design and implementation of CMU's new DBMS. The focus will be on how we combine the new storage manager with the beautiful Prashanth Menon's LLVM execution engine. Read More

RelationalAI

In this talk, I will summarize our work on in-database solvers for relational machine learning and artificial intelligence. We implement a declarative query language that offers support for model (or instance) finding. The capability is used to express predictive and prescriptive analytics. The presentation gives an overview of the platform and the language. In particular, it focuses on the use... Read More

Applications have had an interesting evolution as they have moved into the distributed and scalable world. Similarly, storage and its cousin databases have changed side by side with applications. Many times, the semantics, performance, and failure models of storage and applications do a subtle dance as they change in support of changing business requirements and environmental challenges. Adding scale to... Read More

Widespread digital transformation and the explosion of the Internet of Things has led to a dramatic increase in the volume, complexity and unpredictability of data. This has created a need for converged solutions that require a new combination of processing capabilities that are not met by traditional OLTP and OLAP implementation approaches. The challenge set by modern enterprise is to... Read More
