Veritas: shared verifiable databases and tables in the cloud Allen et al., CIDR’19 Two (or more) parties want to transact based on the sharing of information (e.g. current offers). In order to have trust in the system and provide a foundation for resolving disputes, we’d like a tamperproof and immutable audit log of all shared […]

A Fortune 50 company tried traditional SQL databases, then Hadoop, to manage financial updates company-wide. They finally found a successful solution by augmenting Hadoop with MemSQL. Many companies today are straining to meet the needs for faster ad hoc analytics, dashboards, reporting, and support for modern applications that depend on fast access to the latest data – in particular, financial data. Facing competitive and customer pressures, IT organizations must respond to a rapid increase in the volume of incoming data and the needs of the business to use this data for rapid decision-making, improving operations, and providing better customer experiences. …

Have you ever been treated unfairly? How did it make you feel? Probably not too good. Most people generally agree that a fairer world is a better world, and our AI researchers couldn’t agree more. That’s why we are harnessing the power of science to create AI systems that are more fair and accurate. Many […]

Consider the problem of predicting the evolution of stock prices over time, as illustrated in Figure 1. This is, in general, impossible to do perfectly. One could imagine, however, that the prices are a reflection of some underlying state of the market that evolves in a fashion that is not directly observable. Clearly, there is […]

I’ve been training people in Design Thinking for a few years. When I utter the words, “Design Thinking,” I can place people’s reactions into three categories based upon their eyes: A blank stare, indicating, “What’s that?’ The twinkling eye, suggesting, “Yes, that!” Or, eye rolling, which usually means, “Oh brother, not that.” Addressing the blank […]

When a colleague of mine was running some experiments, he noticed LockSupport.parkNanos() would either return almost immediately or in roughly 50 microseconds steps. In other words: Calling LockSupport.parkNanos(10000) would not return after 10 microseconds, but roughly after 50 μs. LockSupport.parkNanos(55000)…

The case for network-accelerated query processing Lerner et al., CIDR’19 Datastores continue to advance on a number of fronts. Some of those that come to mind are adapting to faster networks (e.g. ‘FARM: Fast Remote Memory’) and persistent memory (see e.g. ‘Let’s talk about storage and recovery methods for non-volatile memory database systems’), deeply integrating […]

In the previous article, we discussed the steps required to sign up for a GridGain® Cloud account, created our first cluster, described the two built-in SQL demos and briefly reviewed the monitoring capabilities. In this article, we will look at programming language support and present some examples of how to connect to a GridGain Cloud Cluster using several different programming languages.

In a previous post, we shared an Apache® Ignite™ primer for people new to this exciting this open source project. In it, we touched upon Ignite's key features. Today I'll focus on the commonly asked question: Does Ignite have persistent storage or memory-only storage?
