Why the GAUSS Engine?

Fast

The interactive and intuitive nature of the GAUSS platform allows you to develop and customize, even complex analytics, 10-40x faster than traditional languages. While the GAUSS platform allows you to develop new ideas as quickly as a prototyping environment, unlike a prototyping environment, the robust GAUSS mathematical engine is fast enough that you will be happy to place it into production.

Compatible

The native code of the GAUSS Engine has minimal dependencies, which allow it to run on many platforms and to easily interface with:

• Web applications written in PHP, Python or Java
• Enterprise applications written in C#, C/C++, Java or Python
• Traditional, Big-Data and NoSQL databases such as Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DB2, HBase, Hive and MongoDB
• BI Dashboards

No matter what applications and data sources your organization uses, the GAUSS Engine can be integrated into your system.

Powerful and Extensible

The base version of the GAUSS Engine comes with more than 1000 mathematical and statistical functions. Pre-built, customizable modules are also available for specific applications, such as constrained optimization, Bayesian estimation, discrete choice modelling, machine learning and time series. The GAUSS Engine can also call functions from other libraries written in C/C++, or Fortran.

Lightweight and Scalable

The core of GAUSS is written almost entirely in C. This allows GAUSS to be light-weight enough to be run on small devices, or run thousands of concurrent sessions on a small web server. Conversely, it also allows GAUSS to harness all the computing power of a large cluster.

The GAUSS Engine allows you to create independent workspaces like separate copies of the GAUSS platform, which can be quickly created and destroyed on demand. Your main program can communicate with these workspaces; they can run the same analysis on different data, or each run something completely different. Since even a modest server can create thousands of GAUSS Workspaces almost instantaneously, the GAUSS Engine can easily scale with your demand.

Write Once, Run Anywhere

Create your algorithm once in the GAUSS Engine and re-use it on any platform GAUSS supports. No wasted time reworking for different platforms.

Key Features

• Pass in-memory data to and from the GAUSS Engine.
• Multi-threaded and thread-safe.
• Ability to compile GAUSS code locates many errors right away and protects your intellectual property.
• Distribute stand-alone applications which can be run on machines without the GAUSS platform installed.
• GAUSS Engine workspaces are lightweight, allowing for excellent scalability.
• More than 1000 standard built-in functions for data analysis, including many native and ODBC database drivers.
