Streamlining Data Analytics with NeuroBlade’s SPU HW Acceleration

This presentation will discuss NeuroBlade’s collaboration with the open-source community to enhance the Velox analytics engine through specialized hardware acceleration. We will delve into the technical enhancements and performance improvements enabled by the NeuroBlade SQL Processing Unit (SPU). Utilizing the Data Analytics Acceleration (DAXL) framework, this approach abstracts the underlying hardware complexities, thus streamlining the integration with data analytics platforms. Krishna Maheshwari will explain the seamless integration of the SPU with Presto-Velox, focusing on its compatibility with major data formats including Iceberg, Parquet, and ClickHouse. We will also present benchmark results that demonstrate the SPU’s pipelined processing capabilities, showcasing significant improvements in efficiency and processing speed.
