Kx Systems kdb+ 2.8 with Scalable Informatics SF4-T60b and Smart Storage Optimus

Specs: STAC-M3 Benchmarks (Antuco Suite)

Stack under test:

Kx Systems kdb+ 2.8 software
CentOS Release 6.4 with xfs
2 x 8-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2687W @ 3.10GHz
Smart Storage Optimus SSD
Scalable Informatics SF4-T60b server

Tested by: STAC

The code that produced the STAC-M3.ß1.1T.NBBO benchmark results in this report actually implemented STAC-M3.ß1.1T.NBBO-Q (see STAC-M3 Antuco specifications for descriptions of the operations). NBBO-Q involves processing and saving more data as well as more computation. It is valid to claim superior performance if NBBO-Q elapsed time is less than NBBO elapsed time. It is not valid to claim superior performance if NBBO elapsed time is less than NBBO-Q elapsed time; the relative performance is not determined in this case.

The STAC-M3 Benchmark suite is the industry standard for testing solutions that enable high-speed analytics on time series data, such as tick-by-tick market data (aka "tick database" stacks).
