Chapter 3. New Possibilities
The benefit from the performance boost afforded by GPU acceleration is different for different applications. In general, the more processing-intensive the application, the greater the benefit, as shown in Figure 3-1
Figure 3-1. Although most data analytics applications stand to benefit from the GPU’s price/performance advantage, those requiring the most processing stand to benefit the most
This chapter describes how you can use GPU acceleration to improve both the performance and price of a wide variety of database, data analytics, and business intelligence (BI) applications. The next three chapters focus on the three applications or use cases that stand to benefit the most:
-
Machine learning and deep learning (Chapter 4)
-
Internet of Things (IoT) and real-time data analytics (Chapter 5)
-
Interactive location-based intelligence (Chapter 6)
