Does anyone think that PostgreSQL could benefit from using the video
card as a parallel computing device? I'm working on a project using
Nvidia's CUDA with an 8800 series video card to handle non-graphical
algorithms. I'm curious if anyone thinks that this technology could be
used to speed up a d

Well, I'm not one of the developers, and one of them may have this

But there are several reasons this seems to be a dead-end route for Postgres:
1) It's limited to in-memory sorts. Speeding up in-memory sorts by a linear
factor seems uninteresting. Anything large enough for a small
