Here are two videos of me speaking from the 2013 Intel Developer Forum FYI. The first has some technical detail: The second is more of a PR pitch about Intel Hadoop: I’m working with Intel on a new video with a pretty interesting storyline (at least I hope that you find it interesting?)… so stay…
I’m working on a new idea… it may or may not pan out… but here are some concepts for your consideration… with some thoughts on their performance implications. First a reminder… a reality check. In my experience if you POC two databases at about the same price point…and one is 30% faster than the other, 1.3X, then…
This short post is intended to provide a quick warning regarding in-memory columnar and cpu requirements… with a longer post to follow. When a row is inserted or bulk-loaded into a DBMS, if there are no indexes, the amount of cpu required is very small. The majority of the time is spent committing a transaction…
In my post here I suggested that database computing was becoming a special case of high-performance computing. This trend will bump up against the trend towards cloud computing and the bump will be noisy. In the case of general commercial computing customers running cloudy virtualized servers paid a 5%-20% performance penalty… but the economics still…
I would like to recommend to you John Appleby’s post here on the HANA blog site. While the title suggests the article is about HANA, in fact it is about trends in computing and processors… and very relevant to posts here past, present, and upcoming… I would also recommend Curt Monash’s site. His notes on Teradata…
I suggested here that Teradata shipped the EDW 6700 series without waiting for Ivy Bridge because they could not use the cores effectively… but it could be that Haswell (see here) fit their release schedule better. It will be interesting to see whether they can use all of the cores then?
If you missed the tweet… 2+ years ago I predicted here that Teradata would go away from ByNet… and lo and behold they did (see here). In the same post I predicted that Netezza would go away from FPGAs. This has not come to pass. But I wonder if it might… or if there is a…
