Join us May 23 in Menlo Park for the Bay Area In-Memory Computing Meetup. This free event is sponsored by GridGain Systems. Speaker 1: Stan Lukyanov, software engineer at GridGain Systems. His talk is titled, "Troubleshooting Apache Ignite (and best practices)"

Summary: Whether you are getting started with Apache Ignite or have already deployed, this session is for you. Stan will explain how to set up deployments to make them easier to monitor, manage and keep up and running properly. He'll also hare best practice examples on how to:

* Configure Ignite and GridGain for deployment, management and monitoring
* Leverage log files during troubleshooting
* Use monitoring interfaces and tools such as JMX, Visor and Web Console
* Identify and fix top errors for newly installed and existing deployments

Speaker 2: George Williams, director of data science and chief evangelist of embedded AI at GSI Technology. His talk will be titled:  "Searching large databases with a billion objects or more!"

Summary: What do face recognition, visual e-commerce, and drug discovery have in common? These days they involve searching large databases with a billion objects or more. Unlike traditional database search, exact match to a query is not the goal. Instead similarity search is employed to retrieve the closest items. One way to scale similarity search is to use specialized hardware and I’ll talk about GSI Technology’s custom chip that accelerates large-scale similarity search.

GSI Technology designs, develops and markets a broad range of high performance memory products for networking, military, medical, automotive and other applications.
