How Much of a Data Science Workflow Can Run on a GPU Today? Part 1: Accelerating Data Preparation

# GPUs Can Speed Up Your Data Organization Work New tools are making it possible to run the first major step of data analysis—organizing and cleaning your raw information—directly on graphics processors (the chips that power video games), which are much faster than regular computer processors for this type of work. This matters because data preparation is often the slowest part of any analysis project, so speeding it up could save your team weeks of waiting around. The good news is you don't need to be a programmer to benefit, since these tools are designed to work with popular data analysis software that many professionals already use.
