[MDEV-15741] Disruptive Innovation: New Engine for GPU Powered SQL Database Created: 2018-03-30  Updated: 2018-07-08

 Description   

Just the way a MariaDB Transactional (TX) table engine was developed porting code from github's RocksDB, by adapting it for making it work with the MariaDB SQL Front-End, a very interesting innitiative would be to develope another engine for a GPU Powered SQL Database within the Analytics (AX) field.

The GPU table AX engine could be based in BlazingDB's Community Edition or MapD Open Source Core Code:
https://github.com/BlazingDB
https://github.com/mapd/mapd-core

A fork could be done, and adapted to the MariaDB Front-End, which would probably revolutionize how Analytics are done thanks to the well-known MariaDB/MySQL SQL Syntax + The GPU SQL Power Performance.

Thank you,
Juan

Not sure if BlazingDB Community Edition Code is Open Source... But MapD Core Code sure it is

Yes, an interesting idea. Apparently GPU databases are becoming more popular.

There was a talk on the M|18 about it https://m18.mariadb.com/session/harnessing-power-gpus-high-performance-analytics (not Open Source either, though)
