Accelerating Apache Spark with GPUs Using RAPIDS

Explore GPU acceleration for Apache Spark in this 36-minute talk from Databricks. Learn about RAPIDS, a GPU-accelerated toolkit for data science workloads, and its integration with Spark. Discover how RAPIDS provides a drop-in replacement for popular data science libraries, enabling large-scale computation with minimal code changes. Understand the functionality, architecture, and performance benefits of RAPIDS, which can offer several orders of magnitude acceleration compared to CPU-only alternatives. Gain insights into how GPU acceleration, traditionally used in scientific computing and AI, is now revolutionizing data science workflows on the Databricks Unified Analytics Platform.
