Congratulations on your raise! I can see many applications for
this in healthcare and government. Would love to hear more about
how others are implementing BlazingDB and the problems they are
solving.

Great to see more competition in GPU+DW space! Some questions:1.
How does BlazingDB compare to MapD ?2. How do you skip ingest - are
you using Apache Arrow like Dremio as an efficient data
representation format?3. Do you have any benchmarks, or maybe where
would you see BlazingDB on this list?
http://tech.marksblogg.com/benchmarks.html using same hardware as
MapD ?4. Can you run your solution in a cluster? :)

I don't know much about how this would work or make sense, but is
there a benefit to using a GPU based database with something
computationally demanding like machine training / learning that
uses GPUs too for computation?
