Speed
eXtremeDB was designed from the beginning to maximize database speed. We compiled this list of features you might want to search for if fast data management is a priority for your next project.
What sets us apart?
eXtremeDB was designed from the beginning to maximize database speed, and offers easy to use hybrid storage based on an in-memory database system. (Learn why this offers better performance.)
Extremely efficient design
eXtremeDB’s efficient architectural design means a smaller footprint which results in short code execution paths for all functions
Active Replication Fabric™
Developed as an IoT connectivity solution, Active Replication Fabric also offers data compression
Pipelining
Pipelining utilizes a built-in library of vector-based statistical functions, with the output of one function becoming input for the next to keep the interim results in CPU cache and reduce database latency.
What embedded developers like most
Data compression
Data can be stored compressed to minimize overhead and improve performance. Compression is also used between server and device in eXtremeDB’s Active Replication Fabric for IoT networks.
Better cache management
More efficient cache management in prioritization translates to improved overall performance and less redundancy.
Multiple database index types
eXtremeDB’s multiple database indexes enable the developer to significantly increase application speed and make important design trade-offs involving search performance, memory consumption, and update performance.
What HPC developers like most
eXtremeDB for HPC is built on an embedded database system that is optimized for performance. Please review the What embedded developers like section above.
Flexible data layout
eXtremeDB implements columnar data layout for fields of type ‘sequence’. Sequences can be combined to form a time series, ideal for working with tick streams, historical quotes and other sequential data. This technology supports database designs that combine row-based and column-based layouts, in order to best leverage the CPU cache speed. Learn more.
Pipelining
Pipelining is the programming technique in eXtremeDB that accelerates processing by combining the database system’s vector-based statistical functions into assembly lines of processing for market data, with the output of one function becoming input for the next.
Resource conflict resolution
Threads running in parallel often contend for system resources, actually reducing overall performance. Achieving multi-core’s promised linear performance gains hinges on resolving this issue. Learn how eXtremeDB does this.
