Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), one of the United States' premier research and development institutions for science and technology applied to national security, used Netezza to search a massive semantic graph that helps determine relationships between objects by storing nodes (the object) and how they link to other objects (an edge). The graph consisted of 300 billion edges and eleven billion nodes, making it the largest known graph search to date. LLNL's computer scientists ran level-set expansion and bi-directional, breadth-first search against the data on a Netezza system, and over 90% of the searches were completed in less than five minutes. This provided evidence of Netezza's ability to scale for managing and analyzing the largest data sets. Learn more>>
