Introduction The Presto Native Worker is the latest innovation in the Presto SQL engine. Its optimizations reduce the CPU and memory footprint of Presto production clusters leading to great price performance. We are already seeing the benefits at Meta/Uber/IBM watsonx.data. Hardware accelerations startups like Neuroblade also show great benchmarking results with Presto. To get a…
For the past three years, engineers from Meta, Ahana (now IBM), Intel, and Bytedance have been working to build Velox, a state-of-the-art execution engine designed to be composable across compute engines. From this work came the native C++ Presto worker, a full rewrite of the Presto query execution engine built on Velox (also referred to…
Presto, a prominent open-source distributed SQL query engine, has been at the leading edge of high-performance data analytics for over a decade. In analytical data processing, the effectiveness of query optimization is paramount. Over the last half-century, optimizing SQL queries has been a hotbed of research and development, resulting in groundbreaking innovations. This blog post…
