Just days into 2010 and Robin Bloor includes Pervasive among ’10 IT Companies to Watch in 2010’ for the second year running. Pervasive lands second on his list and Bloor believes we will be “worth watching this year.”
Although Pervasive Software is comprised of four innovative technologies, Bloor praises Pervasive DataRush as the “so-far-little-recognized jewel” due to its parallel processing capabilities. Pervasive DataRush released the general availability of its processing engine in March, 2009. Bloor adds that “there are not many such engines and as we advance further into the world of multicore CPUs, every vendor that has a parallel engine is likely to experience strong demand. Parallel engines improve processing speeds by one or two orders of magnitude, bringing down query responses (for example) from hours to minutes.” Early adopters of the revolutionary Pervasive DataRush engine are taking advantage of the impressive speed ups and beginning to use DataRush to enable their own applications.
The Pervasive DataRush team worked diligently and built data-intensive applications useful in data services, data mining, and predictive analytics that were also released last year. Pervasive DataMatcher helps organizations detect fraud through duplicate records. Pervasive RushRecommender is a scalable, dataflow implementation of collaborative filtering based on weighted co-clustering that provides organizations insight to their customer needs.
Dr. Nena Marín, Pervasive DataRush Chief Scientist, co-presented with The University of Texas at the KDD Cup 2009 in Paris, France. The co-authored paper, titled “Pervasive Parallelism in Data Mining: Dataflow Solution to Co-clustering Large and Sparse Netflix Data,” was selected from among 686 total submissions and detailed work to deliver performance improvements in the Netflix recommender system running a computationally intensive co-clustering algorithm. The successful duo went on to present accurate prediction of customer behavior at Predictive Analytics World 2009 titled "Churn, Baby, Churn: Fast Scoring on Large Telecom Dataset."
Stay on the lookout as the Pervasive DataRush team uncovers new analytic applications in healthcare and cyber security, and new academic alliance advancements with TACC in the new year. Also on the roadmap is improved speed and content filtering. We continue to address the gap between proliferating multicore processors and exploding volumes of data to get you the information you need quickly.
