NVIDIA GTC 2026 is coming up!

#GTC2026 kicks off next week! 🚀

One area I’m particularly excited to delve into is the latest from NVIDIA on #GPU #accelerated #analytics. It’s been incredibly impressive to see GPU hardware performance improve from generation to generation. CPUs and GPUs are getting more tightly integrated in ever larger data center clusters, memory and communication bottlenecks are quickly diminishing, and NVIDIA’s #RAPIDS #AI software stack underpinning distributed query engines is maturing. Indeed, it seems we are at the cusp of a new era of GPU-accelerated data exploration and productionization, one that will most likely be driven by the explosion of AI data agents in the enterprise.

I’ll be delving more deeply into the technical aspects of accelerated data analytics in future posts, and in the meantime there will be several fantastic GTC talks and opportunities to meet the experts on these very topics. I’m looking forward to hearing from the NVIDIA team about how these challenges are being tackled in these upcoming sessions:

• Shatter the Memory Wall: Composable Building Blocks for Massive Scale Analytics
• Scaling Deep Tabular: 360K Inferences per Second per GPU
• Build a GPU-Accelerated Database Engine With CUDA
• Scaling DuckDB Beyond Its Limits: GPU-Accelerated Analytics With Sirius
• Next-Gen Data Systems: GPU Acceleration for SQL and Vector Databases

See you there!
