Honorable Mention: Scalable GPU Acceleration of Scalar Functions in Analytical Databases: Compilation, Benchmarking, and Optimization
Analytical databases support hundreds of scalar functions that often become query bottlenecks. This work introduces a compiler-based approach that translates production database scalar functions into efficient GPU kernels while preserving their original semantics, enabling substantial performance gains for analytical workloads. msft.it/6014aTYVo
