Extract-transform-load (ETL) operations with GPUs using the NVIDIA RAPIDS Accelerator for Apache Spark running on large-scale data can produce both cost savings and performance gains. We demonstrated this in our previous post, GPUs for ETL? Run Faster, Less Costly Workloads with NVIDIA RAPIDS Accelerator for Apache Spark and Databricks. In this post, we dive deeper to identify precisely which…
