*Sparsity Technologies - Powering Extreme Data

High-performance human solutions for Extreme Data

Push your development to a more competitive customer solution with *Sparksee 5

Sparksee 5 Mobile is now available for iOS and Android

Check out our brand new Python API language

Faster algorithms, better concurrency & enhanced data management

High functionality to increase throughput & allow 24/7 availability

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 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 and Java, and for iOS, Android and BB10 based mobile devices.

Low level API with direct access to the core engine functionalities.
