"As Director of Engineering at Uber and Presto Foundation GB Chair, I have extensive experience developing and running open- source analytics software at an enterprise scale. Our workloads typically included heavy scan/filter/join operations, which are ideal for hardware acceleration. It's exciting to see how DataPelago disrupts the industry by accelerating open-source frameworks like Presto and Spark with custom hardware infrastructure. I'm particularly impressed with their dynamic mapping to heterogeneous computing elements and reconfigurable run-time techniques. By accelerating open-source frameworks, I think DataPelago will significantly transform today's performance/$ paradigm and reshape the economics of data processing."
