The last time we had Manos on the program, we talked about Moore's Law coming to an end. It's important to note that we can't rely on just sheer computing power doubling to be able to meet our ever-increasing demand for data. We must find new and exciting ways to collect and compute large amounts of data. In this episode of Counting Sand, we will dive deep into what does a database actually do? What is at the core of a data system? Most importantly, how can we use new and exciting techniques to free up the CPU's load by algorithmic trickery.
