Does anyone think that PostgreSQL could benefit from using the video card as a parallel computing device? I'm working on a project using Nvidia's CUDA with an 8800 series video card to handle non-graphical algorithms. I'm curious if anyone thinks that this technology could be used to speed up a database? If so which part of the database, and what kind of parallel algorithms would be used?
Thanks,
