DATABASE SUPPORTS INTELLIGENT DEVICES.McObject has debuted a single-threaded, royalty-free version of its eXtremeDB in-memory database A database that keeps all active records in main memory rather than on disk. Accessing in-memory records is considerably faster than retrieving them from the disk. , delivering a powerful and economical solution for embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. development projects with streamlined database needs. Available at an introductory price of $475 per developer, with no distribution royalties charged for an application developed under this license, McObject's single-threaded eXtremeDB fills the need for a powerful, lower-priced in-memory database. Uses include demanding single-threaded telecommunications monitoring, manufacturing testing, and real-time simulation and analysis systems. Royalty-free licensing appeals when software's distribution model -- such as free, mass downloads -- makes license-tracking cumbersome or impossible. The new single-threaded eXtremeDB offers the same powerful data management capabilities and unparalleled performance found in the multi-threaded version. Users can easily upgrade to take advantage of multi-threaded eXtremeDB with its Shared Memory (1) Using part of main memory to support a low-cost display circuit that does not have its own memory. See shared video memory. (2) The common memory in a symmetric multiprocessing system that is available to all CPUs. See SMP. 1. , High Availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. and XML-enabling add-ons. The single-threaded eXtremeDB, which is available in object code only, can also be upgraded to obtain database source code. The single-threaded eXtremeDB is now available for Windows and x86-based Linux platforms. The software is available for immediate download with credit card purchases through http://www.mcobject.com/buyitnow.php, or users can obtain the product by contacting McObject at sales@mcobject.com or by calling 425/831-5964. McObject developed eXtremeDB to support the data-hungry features of next-generation set-top boxes, network switches, industrial automation and other intelligent devices. The database accelerates processing by storing and working with data in main memory, eliminating the performance overhead of disk I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output , caching and related logic. Powerful data management features include ACID-compliant transactions, a high-level data definition language, and an intuitive application programming interface (API) that catches many common coding errors before they can become expensive bugs. eXtremeDB's tiny footprint (approximately 100K) makes it a logical choice for embedded systems that must minimize RAM and CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. demands. By replacing "homegrown" data management code, eXtremeDB delivers higher system reliability while cutting QA cycles. "Since McObject introduced eXtremeDB, numerous high-profile companies have adopted our multi-threaded database, deploying it in complex, demanding systems. McObject has also recognized a demand for reliable, ultra-fast single-threaded data management, with one-time pricing, and for this segment we're happy to offer this new 'entry-level' eXtremeDB," said Steve Graves Steve Graves (b. April 7, 1964 in Trenton, Ontario) is a former professional ice hockey left wing. He spent his junior career with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the OHL before being selected in the second round of the 1982 NHL Entry Draft, 41st overall, by the Edmonton Oilers. , McObject's co-founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. .
