Powerful GPUs or Fast Interconnects: Analyzing Relational Workloads on Modern GPUs

Summary: Introduces MaxBench, a benchmarking, profiling, and cost-modeling framework for GPU relational analytics across modern GPUs and interconnects. Replaces arithmetic intensity/GFLOP/s with characteristic query complexity and GPU efficiency to quantify compute–communication trade-offs and project future gains.
