Mega-KV: A Case for GPUs to Maximize the Throughput of In-Memory Key-Value Stores
Summary: Mega-KV: GPU-based in-memory key-value store designed to exploit GPU memory bandwidth, latency hiding, and massive data parallelism, addressing large working sets. On a commodity PC with two CPUs and two GPUs, Mega-KV delivers 160+ million K/V ops/sec, 1.4–2.8x faster than state-of-the-art CPU KV stores.
