I have a very small (marketing-related) nitpick:&lt;p&gt;Would you consider hosting your project on github instead of SourceForge?  I don&apos;t say this to be trendy, github just has a much more pleasing interface in my opinion.  It&apos;s also faster, subjectively at least.</text></comment>
<story><title>Show HN: my database engine for GPU</title><url>https://sourceforge.net/projects/alenka/files/</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>beagle3</author><text>Super cool, and thanks for sharing!&lt;p&gt;Are you familiar with APL/K/Q/J ? These implement column store databases which a programming language significantly more expressive and usable. K and J are also significantly faster than any other SQL database -- it would be interesting to compare K&apos;s ultra-optimized in-memory processing to the GPU -- I&apos;m not at all sure GPU is going to win here in practice.&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/kevinlawler/kona&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://github.com/kevinlawler/kona&lt;/a&gt; for an open source K implementation (the wiki has docs). Same language, newer version (with database integration) and english language instead of ascii chars is called Q see &lt;a href=&quot;http://kx.com/q/d/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://kx.com/q/d/&lt;/a&gt; (kdb1, q1 if you like longer, kdb, q if you like terser), and &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.kx.com/wiki/Main_Page&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://code.kx.com/wiki/Main_Page&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
