Robert Gordon IV said it best: “We need to make sure we’re creating more access to capital, creating more space for community, and also creating more education for venture capitalists.” Thank you to our partners,?CLT Impact Investors,?We Strive Ventures, and?Loyd Visuals, for making that happen seamlessly in Charlotte!

A few quick plugs: 1?? We reduced the number of A100 640GB nodes needed to do TPC-H @ 100TB scale from 8 to 5. Lowering the barrier to get started. 2?? A 10% performance improvement in a quarter is great for some, we had nearly a 100% performance improvement! 3?? Not included in the report but with B100s around the corner, and H100s dominance, many are getting aggressive with A100 discounts, further increasing the value of GPU analytics. The time is now for GPU Query engines!
