RTIndeX: Exploiting Hardware-Accelerated GPU Raytracing for Database Indexing
Summary: Maps indexing to GPU raytracing: represent tuples as 3D geometry and translate point/range lookups into rays, leveraging NVIDIA RTX BVH traversal and ray-intersection cores as a hardware index. 14-dimension evaluation shows RX competitive with hand-tuned GPU indexes and reveals distinct performance/flexibility tradeoffs.
