Relational Joins on Graphics Processors
Summary: GPU-based relational joins use data-parallel primitives (split, sort) on GPUs, leveraging random writes and inter-processor communication. Implements indexed or non-indexed nested-loop, sort-merge, and hash joins; yields 2–7× CPU speedups on NVIDIA G80. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
