APU — A New Era of Data Analytics at the Hardware Level
What Is Speedata’s APU?
Speedata’s APU is the first dedicated hardware solution on the market designed to accelerate data analytics in data centers. The processor, called the Analytics Processing Unit, powered by the revolutionary “Callisto” chip, breaks away from the limitations of traditional processors, offering significantly higher efficiency and computational power.
Callisto is a PCIe card — the C200 Analytics Accelerator — designed for high-throughput data processing, with a strong focus on Apache Spark users. Integrated via PCIe, it easily connects to standard off-the-shelf servers. The solution is offered either as a dedicated 2U platform or as a PCIe card for existing infrastructure.
What Do You Gain with APU?
Unmatched Acceleration
A proof of concept in the pharmaceutical industry showed that data analysis on the APU took just 19 minutes, compared to 90 hours on a CPU — making it 280 times faster than traditional CPU- or GPU-based infrastructure models.
Cost Savings
The APU reduces infrastructure operating costs by an average of 50×, with capital expenditure reductions of up to 91%, rack space savings of 94%, and energy consumption reductions of 86%, compared to traditional CPU or GPU configurations.
Seamless Integration
Speedata’s technology works without requiring any modifications to user code. Integration happens through the Spark Catalyst optimizer layer, and if the APU does not support a specific operation, the task seamlessly falls back to the CPU.
Versatile Architecture
The APU accelerates file-level operations — decompression, decoding, filtering, row assembly, structure flattening — as a hardware pipeline optimized for Spark, Kubernetes, YARN, and standalone environments.
Why Speedata?
Speedata delivers the APU based on the team’s extensive experience in semiconductors, soft-cloud solutions, and infrastructure — forming the foundation of the company’s philosophy focused on quality, precision, and innovation. The APU enables performance gains of up to 100× without requiring changes to existing code.
