I've been delving into OpenCL to parallelize some algorithmic trading stuff I have been doing. One thing I did a few days ago was to thread the way I load data into a MySQL Server. What took over an hour normally is down to under 10 mins.

I'd be interested in knowing is what GPU's you were/are using. I'm using a Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box 550 (with Radeon RX Vega 56 Card).

Oh, you mean the bottleneck was on some processing you were doing before sending it to the database? That's cool.

It was mostly on a low-end laptop with integrated graphics lol. I was more interested in learning how parallel algorithms work than anything. Now I feel like an idiot.

Nah don’t feel that way! We all have different goals or reasons for doing things. I had a specific reason to learn. You had one too. They were just different.

Yup my bottleneck was before hitting the database server so I used the GPU to take care of it.
