A Datalog Engine for GPUs A Datalog Engine for GPUs by Carlos Alberto Martinez-Angeles, Ines Dutra, Vitor Santos Costa, Jorge Buenabad-Chavez. (Caution: The link points to a paper within the proceedings for Kiel Declarative Programming Days 2013. Lots of other good papers and runs about 5.5MB)

Abstract:

We present the design and evaluation of a Datalog engine for execution in Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The engine evaluates recursive and non-recursive Datalog queries using a bottom-up approach based on typical relational operators. It includes a memory management scheme that automatically swaps data between memory in the host platform (a multicore) and memory in the GPU in order to reduce the number of memory transfers. To evaluate the performance of the engine, three Datalog queries were run on the engine and on a single CPU in the multicore host. One query runs up to 200 times faster on the (GPU) engine than on the CPU.

Recalling that Lars Marius Garshol based tolog (a topic map query language) on Datalog.
