With growing data, the time taken to run ETL (extract, transform, load) processes to support the myriad downstream workloads has also grown. At the current time, Apache Spark has emerged as the de-facto standard for streamlining at-scale ETL workloads and analytics processing. With Apache Spark, organisations are able to process large amounts of data in record time. Spark offers a set of easy-to-use APIs for ETL (extract, transform, load), machine learning, and graph processing for a variety of data sets from different sources. Currently, Spark is being run on millions of on-premise and cloud servers.
NVIDIA introduced its end-to-end GPU acceleration to Apache Spark 3.0 in 2020. This allows data scientists and machine learning engineers, for the first time, to be able to apply GPU acceleration to ETL workloads. This capability also delivers the performance and the scale needed to bring together the power of AI and the potential of big data.
To help understand and appreciate the true potential of this technology, NVIDIA and Micropoint, with Analytics India Magazine, are organising a webinar on ‘Performance boosting ETL workloads using RAPIDS on Spark 3.0’ on October 20th 2021.
The session will be conducted by Saurav Agarwal, Sr. Enterprise Architect – Big Data, Advanced Analytics & ML, at NVIDIA. He will be speaking about the most commonly used data architectures and ETL workloads, and how they can be accelerated using GPUs and RAPIDS on Adobe Spark 3.0.
