Dear @Chao Sun,

I trust you're doing well. Having worked extensively with Spark Nvidia
Rapids, Velox, and Gluten, I'm now contemplating Comet's potential
advantages over Velox in terms of performance and unique features.

While Rapids leverages GPUs effectively, Gazelle's Intel AVX512 intrinsics
which is now EOL. Now, all eyes are on Velox for its universal C++
accelerators(Presto, Spark, PyTorch, XStream (stream processing), F3
(feature engineering), FBETL (data ingestion), XSQL(distributed transaction
processing) , Scribe (message bus infrastructure), Saber (high QPS external
serving), and others...).

In this context, I'm keen to understand Comet's distinctive features and
how its performance compares to Velox. What makes Comet stand out, and how
does its efficiency stack up against Velox across different tasks and
frameworks?

Your insights into Comet's capabilities would be invaluable, it will help
me to evaluate why I should invest my time in this plugin.

Thank you for your time and expertise.

Warm regards,
Manoj Kumar
