The United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) sought the capability to track national security threats in real time. The solution needed to produce instant results and visualize insights from massive streaming datasets.
Nothing existed in the market that met their needs. Data warehouses were too slow, geospatial systems wouldn’t scale, and premium in-memory solutions promised real-time but didn't deliver.

Research Initiated to Develop Parallel Processing with GPUs
Contracting for the US Army in Arlington, VA, future company founders Amit Vij and Nima Negahban find no existing systems capable of meeting the Army’s needs. They design a new database from the ground up, leveraging the massive parallelization capabilities of GPUs to explore and visualize rapidly changing data in real time.
Initial Success
As data volumes grow, more organizations also start to run up against the challenge of streaming and analyzing data simultaneously in real time. USPS starts using GPUdb to optimize routes and increase accuracy.
