Google BigLake Stretches BigQuery Across All Data
To Gerrit Kazmaier, the distinction between managed databases and data lakes has never made much sense, and it makes even less sense today as data is piling up like soaring mountains being pushed up by tectonic forces. …

AMD Makes A Big DPU Move With $1.9 Billion Bid For Pensando
Lisa Su has had the datacenter in her sights since taking over as president and chief executive officer of AMD in 2014, charting a course that would allow the processor to once again become a factor in the global server market after a decade or so in the wilderness following its brief but high-profile breakthrough with its first Opteron processor in 2003. …

Revving Up Relational Databases For Scorching Native AI Performance
There may not be as much structured data in the world as there is unstructured data, but one could easily argue that the structured data – mostly purchasing transactions and other kinds of historical data data stored in systems of record – is at least of equal value. …
