Q: 

MySQL implementation with CUDA

Hi,

I am a senior undergrad majoring in CS. At the moment I am taking a Computer Architecture class. We need to do a project. I want to do something related to CUDA, where the performance of the computation will have a moderate increase compred to a serial implementation.

I am really interested in databases so I decided to do something related to SQL. I only have experience with MySQL and I could not find anything related to how to work with MySQL using CUDA. There is only one reseasrch I could find about SQL and it uses SQLite. I am not sure what to do and how to gather information on this subject so I decided to take your opinions.

Best

Really? Google found this from NVIDIA:

They have a guide. Is that not suitable? It's certainly not for the faint of heart.

In that forum post they advice the person to extract the data by PHP without using CUDA, so I guess that is useless. I need to use CUDA directly on the database.

@user34315: That doesn't make any sense. At a low level, a database is just a bunch of data on a filesystem; all access to the database goes through a dedicated driver. A GPU cannot access the database directly.
