Abstract: This paper compares the graphics processor units (CPU) and GPU architecture, and gives a brief review on the latest general-purpose GPU computing platforms and the differences and similarities of parallel algorithms between parallel machine and GPU. Then it describes GPU in the spatial database, relational databases, data flow, data mining and information retrieval fields, and discusses GPU-based various internal and external sorting algorithm, GPU-based data structure and index, and GPU-based algorithm optimization work. Finally, it gives the prospects of the GPU used in the data management and analysis of the challenges facing in this area in the future.

Key words: graphic processing unit (GPU), data management, index, sort, optimization
