Overview
Stream analytics on real-time events has an insatiable demand for throughput and latency. Its performance on a single machine is central to meeting this demand, even in a distributed system. StreamBox is a novel stream processing engine that:
-
Exploits the parallelism and memory hierarchies in modern multicore hardware
-
Supports out-of-order data processing
-
Scales to a large number (56) of cores
-
Achieves throughput on a par with distributed engines on medium-size clusters.
-
Delivers latencies of the tens of milliseconds, which are 20× shorter than popular distributed streaming engines.
