Pervasive Software Demonstrates Parallel Data Mining without Parallel Programming at Predictive Analytics World

Pervasive Pervasive Software Inc., an emerging leader in enabling next-generation data-intensive applications and data analytics, will be demonstrating its recommender system at Predictive Analytics World October 20-21 at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria, Virginia.

Pervasive Software CTO Mike Hoskins and DataRush Chief Scientist Nena Marín, Ph.D., will also be in attendance and available to discuss how applying analytics powered by Pervasive DataRush is advantageous in healthcare, government, telecommunications, bioinformatics, astrophysics, and other business domains.

Get the first peek at the newest Recommender Beta based on the Pervasive DataRush platform in Booth #1. The demo will be applied to the Netflix Prize dataset to show how Pervasive DataRush fully utilizes multi-core processors to provide results in seconds.

Churn, Baby, Churn...
Srivatsava Daruru of The University of Texas at Austin will present additional joint research conducted with Pervasive at the conference in a presentation titled, "Churn, Baby, Churn: Fast Scoring on Large Telecom Dataset - KDDcup 2009 Competition Results: Orange Labs (France Telecom)."

Daruru's presentation, on October 20 at 4:55 p.m. in Walnut A/B, describes how the Pervasive-UT team applied the Pervasive DataRush dataflow computational model to score "propensity-to-churn" at the rate of 50,000 customers in the 1.6GB test set from the 2009 KDDcup in three minutes on commodity 16-core CPUs. The effective scoring runtime of 3.6 milliseconds per customer, scoring churn, appetency and up-selling variables, was orders of magnitude faster than other teams' technologies.
