Mostak in 2017: GPUs will dominate computing over the next decade
“We're at an inflection point where the growth in data is outpacing the growth in compute, and I believe, I strongly believe, I'm a little biased, but, ah, that GPUs are set to kind of become a dominant force in compute over the coming decade. Ah, they already …”

“And that's why we can run queries over billions of records in milliseconds, even on a single server.”
Mostak: Tableau data extracts fail on datasets exceeding 100 million rows
“Tableau extracts are great, but they kind of fall over, either when the extract gets over a hundred million rows, a few hundred million rows, or when you have, like, streaming data doing the system.”
