Comment on Show HN: my database engine for GPUparent

Comments

I had investigated aggregates using gpu for building dwarf petacubes (http://www.cs.umd.edu/~nick/projects/Dwarf.pdf), and yes it looks viable.

I had not heard of that data structure before, thanks!

Sadly, it appears to be patented and thus of no use to me. http://www.cs.umd.edu/~nick/projects/Dwarf.html I think it's really quite crass and mercantile for UMD to patent basic computer science algorithms and data structures like that.
