SQream DB is an SQL RDBMS solution from SQream Technologies Ltd. that specifically utilizes Nvidia GPUs to run SQL queries.[1] SQream DB is designed for massive analytic workloads in the petabyte analytics market.

History

SQream DB is the first product from SQream Technologies Ltd, founded in 2010 by entrepreneur Ami Gal and GPU technology expert Kostya Varakin.

SQream DB was first released in 2014[2] after a successful partnership with Orange Silicon Valley.[3]

Performance

The company claims it is much faster and can do so with a 40x price reduction compared to other big-data solutions.[4] The company also claimed Orange saved $6,000,000 by using SQream's database solution, when presenting at the 2014 GPU Technologies Conference.[5][6] SQream DB is aimed at the budget multi-terabyte analytics market, due to its smaller footprint, more modest hardware requirements and extensive use of compression.[7]

SQream DB is also the basis for a solution named GenomeStack,[8] which makes extensive use of SQream DB's capabilities for querying many DNA sequences simultaneously.[9][10]

Patents

The company has applied for numerous patents, encompassing parallel execution queries on multi-core processors,[11][12] speeding up parallel execution on vector enabled architecture[13] and others.
