San Jose, California (USA) / Cologne (Germany) September 21, 2010 – empulse GmbH will be presenting ParStream – the first database which uses an innovative, parallel database plus the enormous power of GPUs (Graphic Processing Units) – at the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference.

ParStream is extremely fast and efficient with the ability to effectively analyse billions of records in fractions of a second. "Our database solution can be scaled to several peta-bytes," says Michael Hummel, Managing Director of empulse GmbH. ParStream also requires significantly less infrastructure and energy than conventional databases. What’s more, ParStream has the ability to analyse data at incredibly fast speeds with simultaneous data import and analysis functions.

"The outstanding features of our ParStream database make it beneficial for any industry which uses structured mass data," explains Michael Hummel. Included are internet service providers which can use ParStream for web analytics and SEO. Social networks can take advantage of ParStream’s technology for social media targeting and profiling. ParStream’s advanced technologies can be used in financial sector companies for analysis of stock prices and risk analysis. Energy companies may apply ParStream for smart metering and smart grids and research centers for climate data research or genetic analysis. These industries all rely on cost-effective, efficient database solutions.

The highlight of ParStream is its revolutionary approach to data indexing, which was developed by the software specialists at empulse GmbH. The new index will result in substantially higher efficiency and enables parallel processing of queries. Thanks to its use of massively-parallel GPUs, ParStream is unsurpassed in its performance abilities. “Based on the current state of technology, the technological advancement of empulse in the area of GPU-based databases and the complexity of such an endeavour, it is unlikely that competitors will be able to develop a comparable product within the next two years,” according to Professor Volker Markl, renowned database researcher at the TU Berlin.
