StreamCruncher 2.2 Release Candidate

The 2.2 Release Candidate is now available. This has some important performance related changes over the 2.2 Beta version. Over the past few releases, I've spent a considerable amount of time working on parts of the Kernel to perform end-to-end processing without having to go the Database. This version performs Correlation Query processing and single Stream Query processing entirely in Memory. As a result, there are some things that don't work - like the "Order by" and "Group by" clauses. You might call it laziness, but there's only so much time I can spend on this, what with a day job and all.

Anyway, the performance has shot up to very respectable figures. The CorrelationPerfTest that I spoke about in my previous blog can now process a total of 168,000 Events per second on a single Processor, dual Core 1.8 GHz Centrino with 2 GB Memory. The Test has 3 Correlation Queries. Two of them correlate 3 Streams each and one Query correlates 2 Streams.

It's been a long journey. I'm so glad that SC can do this many Events per second now. I remember being quite worried a year and a half ago, when it could not do more than a few hundred events per second.
