Extreme Search® Technology
Extreme Search® solutions begin with NPUsearch™ technology.
FAST DATA SEARCH
Lewis Rhodes Lab’s NPUsearch™ is the backbone of Extreme Search®.
Low power, high performance processing is implemented on FPGA local to SSD. Supported by software compiler and drivers, search is accessed by a pair of python commands.
In 2020 Lewis Rhodes Labs introduced NPUsearch™ technology in a self-searching storage appliance that completed regular expression searches on all data files in storage in less than 25 minutes, without indexing. Currently available second generation technology completes all searches in under 12 minutes.
EXTREMELY PARALLEL
NPUsearch™ FPGA hardware and software search engine is integrated with each 4-TB SSD, generating self-searching storage drives with fast, predictable throughput. 64-TB servers provide the capacity to rapidly identify actionable files in large data stores in minutes. Multiple servers can be racked together for up to petabytes of self-searching storage within a single distributed file system.
Parallel search capacity scales linearly with increased data so time to results remains under 12 minutes.
Low Power Neuromorphic Processing
Byte level search through raw data files. Low power at full bandwidth allows integration with storage as well as distribution into limited SWaP environments. Increasingly complex queries have the same time to results. Rapidly ingest raw data into the distributed file system and search contents in minutes.
All regular expression searches complete in <12 minutes.
All search is local in storage.
Increasing data volume, more complex queries, same time to search.
No indexing required.
