TITLE: Using GPU Databases To Build The Next Generation Of Artificial Intelligence

ABSTRACT:
In this talk we will cover how the implementation of GPU database management systems are different than CPU database systems. We will present empirical evidence that shows how much of the performance gains with these systems are achieved via just GPUs. We will also discus how we are solving the problems of tomorrow – making AI smarter, faster and more intuitive with Brytlyt’s BrytMind by combining SQL with its GPU Manager and AI.
