Time Series Database for Financial Systems

eXtremeDB for HPC offers powerful features for a competitive edge.

eXtremeDB for HPC time series database delivers the most powerful solution for managing market data while maximizing productivity through open, developer-preferred languages, making it the ideal database for financial systems.

What sets eXtremeDB for HPC apart?

Pipelining

Dramatically accelerate processing when combining the database system’s rich library of vector-based statistical functions into assembly lines of processing for market data.

Row & column layout

eXtremeDB for HPC enables database designs that easily combine row-based and column-based layouts for time series data using a simple schema.

Flexible hybrid storage

Built on a highly efficient in-memory database system (IMDS) design that removes the I/O, cache management, data transfer and other sources of database latency.

More features to choose from

Created to be a powerful tool for the developer, eXtremeDB offers more features than any other database management system for unmatched flexibility.

Standard features, ideal for financial systems.

Groundbreaking speed

eXtremeDB offers a competitive advantage in trading system design, risk, order book and other financial systems via groundbreaking speed as confirmed by audited STAC-M3 benchmarks and other tests.

Scalable low latency processing

Easily shard (distribute) data to leverage multiple cores, CPUs and/or servers, while isolating client applications from the complexity with eXtremeDB’s distributed query engine which presents a distributed database as a single contiguous whole and allows for 99.999% uptime high availability.

Features to maximize reliability

eXtremeDB offers a full suite of features to maximize reliability including ACID-compliant transactions, a type-safe API, advanced debugging and corruption prevention tools and more.

Interoperability & SQL

eXtremeDB ’s fast, native C/C++ API interoperates fully with its SQL API. The native interface is ideal for time-sensitive operations while the SQL API (with its JDBC & ODBC support) permits higher level access and interfacing with external systems.

Support for market data

Built-in feed handlers and support for time series data (e.g. market tick data) stored in a columnar format maximizes the flow of relevant data into CPU cache, for unparalleled execution speed of complex algorithms.

MVCC

Multi-Version Concurrency Control dramatically improves scalability and performance, while simplifying application logic by eliminating the need for code to manage pessimistic database locking.

What is pipelining, and how does it reduce latency?

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. Calculations are pipelined in order to keep data within CPU cache during its transformation by multiple functions. Without pipelining, interim results from each function would be transferred back and forth between CPU cache and main memory, imposing significant latency due to the relatively lower-bandwidth front side bus (FSB) or quick path interconnect (QPI) between the two.
