Powerful graph analytics made easy. Aster SQL-GR™, a native graph processing engine for graph analysis, makes it easy to solve complex business issues such as social network/influencer analysis. It also helps with fraud detection, supply chain management and network analysis. These problems are more impactful than simple graph navigation analysis. SQL-GR is based upon the Bulk Synchronous Process (BSP) model. It uses massively iterative and parallel processing to solve complex graph problems. SQL-GR is extremely scalable because it is based upon the BSP iterative process model. It also takes advantage of Teradata Aster’s massively scalable parallel processor (MPP) architecture to distribute graph processing across multiple servers/nodes. SQL-GR does not have memory limits and is not limited to one server/node. SQL-GR can easily perform complex graph analysis on large data sets with unmatched speed and power.
