Anyscale has enhanced its Ray Data engine with GPU-native operators, collaborating with NVIDIA to integrate cuDF and RapidsMPF. These updates allow data processing tasks to execute directly on GPUs, offering significant performance improvements for AI workloads. The new features include cuDF as a first-class batch format and a GPU-native shuffle backend, which together can reduce total cost of ownership by up to 3x compared to CPU-based solutions for specific data curation tasks.
