CUDA Benchmark Suite Suggest Apps

I’ve thought about trying to port SQLite to CUDA for a while, but I’ve never gotten around to it. Now that OpenCL is out though, I think that would be a better choice. That would actually be a pretty cool, and very useful programming contest, if nVidia ever sponsored another one.

I don’t know about anyone that has released database-related code for CUDA though. I suppose it is possible to port some parts of the database code, but some of it is inherently serial so you’d still be stuck with that bottleneck.

Hi,

What parts of a DB would you port? I think searches/joins/data-wharehouse activities etc which might be the most time consuming

would require the relevant records to be copied to the GPU, wouldnt that take ages???

thanks
