Rust DB uses gaming GPU RT cores to beat Nvidia H100 on spatial joins

SedonaDB v0.4 leverages RT cores on consumer GPUs for spatial queries, outperforming Nvidia's H100 in benchmarks. The open-source Rust database achieves up to 10x faster spatial joins by repurposing hardware designed for ray tracing. This approach could democratize high-performance spatial analytics by using cheaper gaming hardware.
