Advanced In-Database Analytics on the GPU - Kinetica

With Version 6.0, Kinetica introduces user-defined functions (UDFs), enabling GPU-accelerated data science logic to power advanced business analytics, on a single database platform. User-defined functions (UDFs) enable compute as well as data-processing, within the database. Such'in-database processing' is available on several high-end databases such as Oracle, Teradata, Vertica and others, but this is the first time such functionality has been made available on a database that fully utilizes the parallel compute power of the GPU on a distributed platform. In-database processing in Kinetica creates a highly flexible means of doing advanced compute-to-grid analytics. This industry-first functionality stands to help democratize data science.
