Aerospike Offers Persistent Memory Solutions for Internet-Scale Data - Intel® Chip Chat episode 653 Intel Chip Chat

    • Technology

Brian Bulkowski, founder of Aerospike, joins Chip Chat to talk about how Aerospike is facilitating a new class of databases for Internet-scale customers. Aerospike is a database company that created a ground-up platform to support the larger datasets and operational databases driven by use cases like retail catalogs, fraud detection, and telecommunications. In this interview, Bulkowski discusses how Aerospike is working to support customers generating terabytes of data from billions of transactions every day and shares his thoughts on Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory, which Aerospike has found to reduce the restart time for an 8.7 TB database by up to 135x[1]. For more information on Aerospike, please visit aerospike.com.

[1] Tests performed by Intel and Aerospike as of 27 February 2019 demonstrated that an 8.7 TB database could be restarted in as little as 35 seconds on a server configured with DRAM + Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory versus up to 4,745 seconds (1 hr 19 m 5 s) on a server configured with an equivalent amount of DRAM-only memory, for details see https://intel.ly/2vFT5m5.

Intel does not control or audit third-party benchmark data or the web sites referenced in this document. You should visit the referenced web site and confirm whether referenced data are accurate.

Performance results are based on testing and may not reflect all publicly available security updates. See configuration disclosure for details. No product can be absolutely secure.

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.

Optimization Notice: Optimization Notice: Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice. Notice Revision #20110804
