MIMOS Query Accelerator (Mi-Galactica)

Overview

Data discovery capabilities are becoming more important for accurate decision making in increasingly complex and competitive business rules and environments. MIMOS Mi-Galactica further advances data processing speeds by using GPUs for massive parallel processing of unpredictable, complex and longrunning query workloads.

MIMOS Mi-Galactica is a lightning-fast application for accelerating query operations. This new-generation software accelerator outpaces traditional approaches of parallel processing query operations that support data retrieval and evaluation. It is a flexible solution that leverages on the massive bandwidth of multi-core central processing units (CPUs) and many-core graphics
processing units (GPUs) for the parallel processing of multi-billion
row datasets.

Features

Mi-Galactica comprises the following features:

  • Data Extraction and Formulation
    Mi-Galactica communicates with relational databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL and CSV formats by performing frontend application interaction, data extraction and data interchange. Data is preprocessed and formulated into parallel file structures to optimise disk access and loading of relevant data.
  • Expandable Plug-ins
    Task handling capabilities are extendable through expandable plug-ins that provide message, data and command service that work hand-in-hand with a heterogeneous task scheduler.
  • Accelerated Query Engine
    This feature performs in-memory Structured Query Language (SQL)-like operations by utilising multi-core CPU and manycore GPU. It performs deep analysis and tracing of query structures by data filtering, joining, reduction, sorting and arithmetic. Mi-Galactica also utilises data compression algorithms to accelerate data processing by the CPU or GPU.
  • Scalable Heterogeneous Framework
    A scalable and configurable plug-in framework enables users to customise and extend functionalities in SQL-like language via services in application programming interfaces (APIs).

Technology Benefits

The main impacts of Mi-Galactica are:

  • High-Speed Query Computation
    Mi-Galactica boosts query operations through massive parallel computing, using GPU technology. It maximises the usage of instructions with multiple data in query operations. This allows organisations to process more data than ever before.
  • Transparent Heterogeneous Hardware Support Mi-Galactica is a high- performance query accelerator designed for massive parallel processing of big data and complex computations in simplified query language. It is also processor agnostic and can run across different hardware platforms with
    ultra-speed processing capabilities while guaranteeing data reliability on Windows and Linux.
