Nvidia and OmniSci worked with a cable operator, for instance, whose network generates a terabyte a day.3 The operators dataset was akin to a spreadsheet with 500 million rows, a dataset that would take

24、 eight days just to ingest for analysis with traditional CPUs. Then, each data query would take several hours to run. The partners installed a GPU-based system. Its parallel-processing reduced loading time to just four minutes, allowing for queries in real-time. Instead of data scientists having to
