Streaming a Database in Real Time
Roland Piquepaille writes "Michael Stonebraker is well-known in the database business, and for good reasons. He was the computer science professor behind Ingres and Postgres. Eighteen months ago, he started a new company, StreamBase, with another computer science professor, Stan Zdonik, with the goal of speeding access to relational databases. In 'Data On The Fly,' Forbes.com reports that the company software, also named StreamBase, is reading TCP/IP streams and using asynchronous messaging. Streaming data without storing it on disk gives them a tremendous speed advantage. The company claims it can process 140,000 messages per second on a $1,500 PC, when its competitors can only deal with 900 messages per second. Too good to be true? This overview contains more details and references."
From what I hear, Blizzard should think about hiring this guy ;)
What Would Google Think?
Codito, ergo sum.
First comes love,
Then comes marriage,
Then come a spam-advertisement campaign earning thousands a month at the expense of companies which Roland rips off.
Shit, that didn't rhyme...
"Streambase charges customers annual subscriptions for its software, setting prices based on how many CPUs a customer uses to power the software. Typical deals so far have ranged from $100,000 to $300,000 a year"
Yeah, this will outright kill mysql, I'm swapping tomorrow, got any cash to spare?
Uh oh... You dared to slam Rolly. Prepare for the wrath of Mikey and his infinite mod points.
Lube thy anus.
Trolling is a art,
Roland's name links to his old website, but the link in the summary goes to his new website. A GLITCH IN TEH MATRIX?!
