Abstract

Recent hardware developments are providing a plethora of alternatives to well-known general-purpose processing units. This development reaches into all major directions, i.e., into high-speed and low latency communications systems, novel memory components as well as a zoo of different processing units in addition to the traditional CPU-style processors. While all developments have great impact on the design of database systems, we will try—in the context of this Kurz Erklärt—to categorize recent advances in the context of processing units and comment on the impact on database systems.
