Not sure if anyone else saw this, but it struck me as an interesting idea if it could be added to PostgreSQL. GPU accelerated database operations could be very... interesting.

We're not borrowing from our children, we're stealing from them--and it's not even considered to be a crime." ~David Brower "Esse oportet ut vivas, non vivere ut edas."
