There is a great deal of excitement and hype around GPU computing, and with good reason. The implications of GPU technology for machine and deep learning have already been enormous; they’re capable of performing the high-end computations that are the staple of modern data science. At this meetup, NVIDIA and MapD will demonstrate the use of GPUs and help answer the questions: what's causing the shift to GPUs? How are they are fundamentally changing the analytics space? What are the relevant business applications?
