Overhead outside the UDF can eat up the GPU speedup gains: transferring data back and forth between CPU and GPU is expensive, and if a GPU UDF is sandwiched between operators that frequently fall back to the CPU, the whole thing may actually become slower, so migration should be evaluated in units of an entire operator chain rather than as single-point replacements.

UnverifiedThe trade-off of the hybrid offloading mechanism is that generation speed will be slower than in pure GPU mode.78% similarUnverifiedEven if the CPU and GPU implementations are logically consistent, they may differ in floating-point accumulation order, null value (NaN/Null) propagation, integer overflow, and time zone conversion, so a candidate implementation generated by an Agent must be verified by comparing it with the original UDF on samples, and acceptance should use relative or absolute error thresholds rather than strict equality.74% similarUnverifiedTypical forms of UDFs suitable for GPU migration include: vectorized numerical computation, string matching and regular expressions, timestamp operations, and scalar functions that can be executed in batches over columns.72% similarUnverifiedThe unit price of a single GPU is far higher than that of ordinary CPU instances, making the absolute savings from the same discount ratio considerably greater on GPUs.72% similarUnverifiedGPU hardware costs are fixed — whether running at full load or idle, the bill is the same — whereas APIs only charge upon invocation.71% similar
