In-Stream Big Data Processing

Highly Scalable

The shortcomings and drawbacks of batch-oriented data processing were widely recognized by the Big Data community quite a long time ago. In recent years, this idea got a lot of traction and a whole bunch of solutions like Twitter’s Storm, Yahoo’s S4, Cloudera’s Impala, Apache Spark, and Apache Tez appeared and joined the army of Big Data and NoSQL systems. The engine can also involve relatively static data (admixtures) loaded from the stores of Aggregated Data.

Using local SSDs inside of the GPU node delivers fast access to data during training, but introduces challenges that impact the overall solution in terms of scalability, data access, and data protection. Normally, GPU nodes don't have much room for SSDs, which limits the opportunity to train very deep neural networks that need more data. For example, one well-respected vendor's standard solution is limited to 7.5TB of internal storage, and it can only scale to 30TB.
