Abstract

See full text

A method for the selective utilization of graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration of database queries in database management is provided. The method includes receiving a database query in a database management system executing in memory of a host computing system. The method also includes estimating a time to complete processing of one or more operations of the database query using GPU accelerated computing in a GPU and also a time to complete processing of the operations using central processor unit (CPU) sequential computing of a CPU. Finally, the method includes routing the operations for processing using GPU accelerated computing if the estimated time to complete processing of the operations using GPU accelerated computing is less than an estimated time to complete processing of the operations using CPU sequential computing, but otherwise routing the operations for processing using CPU sequential computing.
