HP and Gemstone show 76x improvement in response times by using "process and data affinity" within a data grid

STAC tested a system constructed by HP and Gemstone to demonstrate the benefits of a “data aware” data-grid architecture. The use case was position keeping on a set of equity options. The primary objective of the project was to subject the system to a realistic workload and compare the response times for end-user position requests when the system was configured two ways:

1. A traditional data grid, in which position calculations are performed on the compute-grid nodes

2. A configuration exploiting new GemFire features that enable calculations to be performed within the data grid.
