Scalable high-performance graph database
Sparksee (formerly known as DEX), makes space
and performance compatible with a small footprint
and a fast analysis of large networks.
It is natively
available for .Net, C++, Python, Objective-C and Java, and covers the
whole spectrum of Operating Systems.
Sparksee mobile is the first graph database
available for iOS and Android.
Why Sparksee
Small memory footprint
that is easy to manage
The graph is represented through
bitmap data structures that allow
high compression rates.
Node adjacencies are represented
by bitmaps to minimize their
footprint.
Each value in the database is
represented only once, avoiding
unnecessary replication.
I/O efficiency retrieving
data from the database
Each of the bitmaps is partitioned
into chunks that fit into disk pages
to improve I/O locality.
The number of times each data
page is brought to memory
is minimized with advanced
I/O policies.
It provides direct access to
OS buffers, avoiding the decoding and encoding of other solutions
Boosting performance
at its maximum
Using bitmaps, operations are
computed with binary logic
instructions that simplify the
execution in pipelined processors.
The C++ core avoids overhead
execution and complex memory
management, as opposed to Java
based engines.
High concurrency and low latency
query response times secure high
performance even under stress
conditions.
Wide compatibility to
be user oriented
Full native indexing allows an
extremely fast access to each
of the graph data structures.
Natively available for .Net, C++, Python, Objective-C and Java, and for iOS, Android and BB10 based mobile devices.
Low level API with direct access
to the core engine functionalities.
