[HACKERS] Using the GPU

[Billings, John]

  
Does anyone think that PostgreSQL could benefit from using the video
card as a parallel computing device?  I'm working on a project using
Nvidia's CUDA with an 8800 series video card to handle non-graphical
algorithms.  I'm curious if anyone thinks that this technology could be
used to speed up a database?  If so which part of the database, and what
kind of parallel algorithms would be used?
Thanks, sorry if this is a duplicate message.
