Significantly improved performance of common tasks by leveraging HPC hardware and instructions
Consistently better compression ratios over existing standards (ORC, Avro, Parquet)
Operate directly on compressed data without the need for decompressing or scratch memory
Started in 2018 and completed in 2023, the Proof-of-Concept demonstrates compression & decompression cycles based on the underlying concepts
The current stage of the project
The provisional patent is slated for submittal in collaboration with Cooley LLP in September 2023
The proof-of-concept needs to be optimized to determine the precise performance so exact metrics can be determined
The value of this compression is its use in an application, such as a database engine or AI model training. To demonstrate the real-world performance, a database engine needs to be built around the compression which is capable of producing valid TPC benchmarks.
The database engine built for the proof-of-applicability will be polished into a full product based on an MVP feature-set.
Prove the value of the compression with benchmarks and protect the IP with patents
Existing vendors, such as Oracle, AWS, and Microsoft, could benefit immediately from the use of this compression.
Develop a competing database product around the compression technology
Become enough of a threat that we become an acquisition target, or we can decide to continue to build a growing company.
Funding required to develop the prood-of-concept into a viable product
The requested funds will be going to the founder as salary to develop the product with a 12-month milestone for proof-of-performance and 18 months for proof-of-applicability, during which time we can actively pursue licensing or selling the IP.
Estimated cost for a patent is $40k. We'll be seeking a domestic patent and a PCT for Europe and China
