Join us April 23 at 1740 Broadway in Manhattan for the next NYC In-Memory Computing Meetup. This free event is sponsored by GridGain Systems. 

George Williams is the 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.
