High-performance computing’s role in real-time graph analytics

 

A podcast with CEO Ricky Sun of Ultipa



Relationship-rich graph structures can be quite complex and resource consuming to process at scale when using conventional technology. This is particularly the case when it comes to searches that demand the computation to reach 30 hops or more into the graphs.  

Moreover, a key benefit of graph technology is ease of large-scale integration. When it comes to analytics, bringing all the relevant information together and processing it quickly is critical to effective discovery.

For that reason, high performance computing (HPC) methods that enable the processing of over a trillion floating point operations per second have been desirable for efficient, large=scale  enterprise graph analytics. In 2012, for example, back in the early days of data lakes and rising demand for big data analytics, supercomputer provider Cray launched a subsidiary called YarcData that targeted the enterprise market for graph DBMSes. 

YarcData’s Urika in-memory appliance available in 2013 featured a maximum of 512 terabytes of contiguous random access memory (RAM)–plenty of space to load entire large graphs using a range of different algorithms and visualization techniques. 

Urika’s first users came from the knowledge-intensive verticals that needed to work with giant graphs for discovery purposes, including financial services (fraud detection, for example), pharmaceuticals (drug discovery) and cybersecurity. Customers paid upwards of $200K for each appliance. The high cost of the appliances compelled YarcData to offer a subscription pricing model as an alternative to buying the appliances outright.

HPC has moved up the performance curve and down the cost curve since then. Today,  HPC Graph systems provider Ultipa claims to deliver real-time graph analytics at scale using high-performance computing methods cost effectively. Ultipa’s proprietary technologies include these:

  • Hybrid Transaction/Analytical Processing (HTAP): HTAP, a term Gartner coined in 2014, refers to scalable transactional processing ability in addition to analytical. Ultipa’s HTAP offers both horizontal (distributed across clusters) and vertical (per server) scaling. 
  • High Density Parallel Computing (HDPC): HDPC is Ultipa’s term for its patent-pending concurrency capability, which offers near linear scaling. As the number of instances grows, so does the scale. 

During this podcast recorded in mid-January, Ultipa CEO Ricky Sun shared a number of insights about how large banks are using the company’s HPC graph systems for real-time liquidity risk evaluation. Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse in March 2023 underscored why more banks are using HPC graph technology for their risk assessments now.

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...

 How Network Polarization Shapes Our Politics! Network polarization amplifies political divisions by clustering like-minded individuals into echo chambers, where opposing views are rarely encountered. This reinforces biases, reduces dialogue, and deepens ideological rifts. Social media algorithms further intensify this divide, shaping public opinion and influencing political behavior in increasingly polarized and fragmented societies. Network polarization refers to the phenomenon where social networks—both offline and online—become ideologically homogenous, clustering individuals with similar political beliefs together. This segregation leads to the formation of echo chambers , where people are primarily exposed to information that reinforces their existing views and are shielded from opposing perspectives. In political contexts, such polarization has profound consequences: Reinforcement of Biases : When individuals only interact with like-minded peers, their existing beliefs bec...

Quantum Network Nodes

An operating system for executing applications on quantum network nodes The goal of future quantum networks is to enable new internet applications that are impossible to achieve using only classical communication . Up to now, demonstrations of quantum network applications  and functionalities   on quantum processors have been performed in ad hoc software that was specific to the experimental setup, programmed to perform one single task (the application experiment) directly into low-level control devices using expertise in experimental physics.  Here we report on the design and implementation of an architecture capable of executing quantum network applications on quantum processors in platform-independent high-level software. We demonstrate the capability of the architecture to execute applications in high-level software by implementing it as a quantum network operating system-QNodeOS-and executing test programs, including a delegated computation from a client to a server ...
