BlazingSQL – A GPU SQL Engine for RAPIDS Open-Source Software from Nvidia

I wonder how will this impact MapD and Dremio's path on the market. It seems to me like RAPIDS is going to include visualisation for free so that would undermine MapD's commercial offering.

In my opinion, I don't see this as undermining the OmniSci commercial offering, but rather opening up GPU accelerated analytics and visualization to a wider audience. A smaller piece of a much larger pie benefits all of the contributors to the RAPIDS project (of which OmniSci is a contributor as well)

Yah we are all solving different parts of this ENORMOUS puzzle. Our focus has always been on making reducing the pains of ETLing data into the GPUs from all of the crazy sources they can come from.

NVIDIA invests in both OmniSci and BlazingDB so don't worry about it. They have it covered.
