Kinetica, provider of the fastest, in-memory database accelerated by GPUs, today announced it will present on real-time analytics, GPU-enabled databases, data-centric accelerated computing, and accelerating analytics for finance this month in webinars with partners IBM and NVIDIA. It also launched a Bay Area GPU-Accelerated Computing Meetup with its first event at NVIDIA on January 25 in Santa Clara. Details on Kinetica presentations include:
IBM and Kinetica Webinar
Join IBM and Kinetica on this webinar to explore an unconventional approach to modern analytics. Ride the next wave of accelerated analytics by unleashing one of the most powerful, commercially available databases onto IBM’s data-centric accelerated server, providing real-time analytics for massive, complex and streaming datasets.
When: Thursday, January 19 at 1:00 PM CST
Where: Webinar

What:
Kinetica’s Eric Mizell, VP of global solution engineering, and IBM
System’s David H. Coutts, distinguished engineer, OpenPOWER Technical
Computing, will present, “In-Memory, GPU-Accelerated Database with Power
changes the Game.” In this webinar, attendees will learn about a new
category of database designed from the ground up to deliver truly
real-time insights leveraging today’s GPU-accelerators and high
performance architectures to deliver performance that’s 10-100x
faster than even the most modern in-memory databases for OLAP workloads,
geospatial visualization and integration with common AI frameworks.
Learn how the death of Moore’s Law along with a shift to increasingly
data-intensive workloads is causing many organizations to think beyond
commodity servers for today’s modern data-intensive analytics workloads.
Hear how applied real-time analytics is already having a significant
impact across a variety of disciplines and industries.
New Bay-Area Meetup: Premier Event Features NVIDIA and Kinetica
This group is for those excited about the revolution behind GPU computing and GPU-accelerated analytics. Kinetica started this group to connect and educate all who are interested in learning more about advances in GPU enterprise applications that deliver truly real-time actionable analytics. Meetups will take place in various venues in San Francisco and in the South Bay providing a chance to learn about new advances in GPU technology for the enterprise, discuss new applicable use cases, and create a community where people can collaborate and overcome modern data challenges through the power of the GPU.
Register to receive updates on future meetups here.
The first meetup will show how GPU computing has new applications in financial services, retail, energy, telco and healthcare to conquer supply chain, logistics, fraud detection, regulatory compliance, customer 360 and a wide range of other business challenges.
When: Wednesday, January 25 at 6:00 – 8:15 PM PST
Where:
NVIDIA Building E (Marco Polo Room), 2770 Scott Blvd, Santa Clara, CA.
Register here.
What:
Kinetica’s Mark Brooks, principal solutions engineer, and Chris
Prendergast, managing director of global business development and
alliances, along with NVIDIA’s John Barco, sr. director, deep learning
and analytics, and Charlie Boyle, sr. director product marketing, will
discuss, “How GPU Computing Is Revolutionizing Real-Time Analytics.” At
this meetup, attendees will learn how GPUs have evolved from being
primarily a consumer-gaming focused component to having new
business applications for real-time data analytics; brute-force compute
power of GPUs enables high performance analytics without the need for
extensive tuning, indexing, and partitioning; and businesses can
leverage GPU computing to create significant improvements for
visualization of geospatial and temporal datasets.
NVIDIA/Kinetica Webinar
Attend this webinar to learn how financial companies are using accelerated analytics to capitalize on big data.

What:
Kinetica’s Eric Mizell, VP of global solution engineering, and
NVIDIA’s Charlie Boyle, sr. director product marketing, will be joined
by featured speaker Gerald A. Hanweck, PhD, CEO and founder of Hanweck
to present, “See How GPUs are Accelerating Analytics for Finance.” This
webinar will discuss the impact of AI, Machine Learning and distributed
computing within quantitative finance on calculating
portfolio and lending risk, detecting fraud, and managing cyber threats.
It will showcase the value of applying deep learning for more informed
and automated trading decisions; discuss how aggregate queries on
real-time transaction data can more accurately detect fraud; and
demonstrate how calculating risk and exposure in real time vs. overnight
can lead to higher profits.
