Data analytics acceleration startup NeuroBlade Ltd. today announced that its NeuroBlade SQL Processing Unit will be made available to Dell Power Edge users.

The collaboration, announced at the Dell Technologies World 2023 conference in Las Vegas today, is claimed to pioneer a new standard for data analytics acceleration that speeds time to insight and improves query performance on petabyte-sized datasets. The solution is being pitched as providing customers with the processor architecture proven to accelerate high-throughput data analytics workloads.

The NeuroBlade SPU G200 PCI-e acceleration card is a processor solely built exclusively for data analytics with consistently high throughput regardless of query complexity. The SPU supports common columnar file formats and when a query is pushed down from the query engine, the SPU directly processes the data files from local storage and outputs the results to the query engine in native query engine layouts.

The NeuroBlade system integrates into existing data center environments, connecting to any database query engine without requiring changes to existing data, queries, or code. The system improves performance of analytics workloads, such as business intelligence, data warehouses, data lakes and extract, transform and load.

The company claims that with NeuroBlade, organizations can reduce their compute, software and power costs by three to five times, while also increasing their performance by 10 to 100 times depending on the workload.

“This collaboration with Dell Technologies significantly strengthens our go-to-market strategy and reinforces the rapidly increasing market demand for new innovative and powerful solutions,” Elad Sity, co-founder and chief executive of NeuroBlade, said ahead of the announcement. “The work we have done enables organizations to keep up with their exponential data growth, while taking their analytics performance to new levels and creating a priceless competitive advantage for them.”
