Hi SXP, thanks for your comment. You might want to check out Mark Litwintschik's posts (independent blogger who has benchmarked this dataset across many different databases) for performance on GeForce GTX TITAN X's. 4 x GeForce GTX TITAN X: http://tech.marksblogg.com/billion-nyc-taxi-rides-nvidia-tit.... 8 x K80s: http://tech.marksblogg.com/billion-nyc-taxi-rides-nvidia-tes.... He has additional posts on MapD on Pascal Titan X's and AWS as well. In full disclosure I work at MapD...

Nice demo, but it would be even nicer if you could get the blooper fixed: "Mapbox's Openstreetmap"

MapBox is an active and respected participant in the OpenStreetMap project and uses our data in some of its products, but that is it.

Blooper Fixed :)

Thanks for the info. The tl;dr is "It's fantastic to see that I've been able to use a machine that costs 1/10th of the one used in the 8 x Tesla K80s benchmark but still have queries running within 33% of the previous performances witnessed."

However, I'm suspicious of the numbers in those articles since the author lists only 4 data points in each trial and doesn't mention the stdev in his measurements. One of his measurements was .964 vs .891 so it looks like the Titan Xs were 90% as fast as K80s if the numbers can be trusted.

Both those links got shortened for some reason, into invalid ones.

Yep, sorry about that:
