Decompression Engine
Data analytics and database workflows have traditionally relied on CPUs for compute. Accelerated data science can dramatically boost the performance of end-to-end analytics, speeding up value generation while reducing cost. Databases, including Apache Spark, play critical roles in handling, processing, and analyzing large volumes of data for data analytics.
Blackwell’s Decompression Engine and ability to access massive amounts of memory in the NVIDIA Grace™ CPU over a high-speed link—900 gigabytes per second (GB/s) of bidirectional bandwidth—accelerate the full pipeline of database queries for the highest performance in data analytics and data science with support for the latest compression formats such as LZ4, Snappy, and Deflate.
