GPU acceleration is revolutionizing high-performance computing. Leveraging GPUs for processing-intensive workloads is on the rise, particularly among verticals such as finance, retail, logistics, health/pharma, and government. GPU-acceleration is opening new possibilities for machine learning, deep learning, data visualization, or simply performing faster queries, joins and row-by-row math. If you’re investigating whether a GPU database can…

Mark Ramsey, SVP, R&D Data, at GlaxoSmithKline, spoke at a recent IBM/Kinetica executive breakfast, where he discussed how GSK uses GPUs and Kinetica to help transform the way that data is used as a strategic asset within their R&D organization.   GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is a science-led global healthcare company that researches and develops a broad…

As more and more data becomes available from sensors, from customers, from transactions—much of it with time and location information—there are increasing demands to analyze these data sets and visualize the results on maps. But today’s geospatial toolsets are hardly up to the task. Spatial databases weren’t designed for a world where IoT systems might…

If your organization manages large volumes of streaming IoT data, you’ll no doubt be familiar with some of the challenges of getting value and insight from these high volume, moving datasets. Many companies have turned to Hadoop and other open source technologies to store and manage these IoT data feeds. This may typically involve “duct…
