Today I had a look at calendar and found that one year of whatif life of Intel® Summary Statistics Library passed. During this year we, Intel® Summary Statistics Team, were able to do a lot of things: Release two versions of the package Extend the library with new features and algorithms including optimized functionality Extend a set of [...]

Hi, Last year SunGard, Microsoft, DataSynapse and Intel collaborated on a 512 core test at Intel’s world class CRT Lab in DuPont, WA. SunGard’s industry leading Asset and Liability Management solution, Ambit BancWare ALM, demonstrated the ability to complete a 20,000 path simulation in less than 5 hours. That’s "game-changing" and highlights the world-class performance of Intel® Xeon® hardware platforms. [...]

Intel® Summary Statistics Library: how to compute quantiles for streaming data?

By Dmitry Kabaev (Intel) (11 posts) on January 28, 2009 at 12:07 am
Comments (0)

Algorithms of Intel® Summary Statistics Library provide support for huge datasets which can not fit into memory of a computer. Earlier I described how analysis of the dataset which is available in blocks/chunks can be done for case of statistical moments. The Update to Intel® Summary Statistics Library 1.0 which was recently released contains the [...]

Intel® Summary Statistics Library: how to deal with missing observations?

By Dmitry Kabaev (Intel) (11 posts) on January 21, 2009 at 4:58 am
Comments (0)

Real life datasets can have missing values. Sociological surveys and measurement of complex biological systems are two examples where the researcher can arrive at the point in which he should do something with missing observations. One can also treat outliers in datasets as samples which are also lost. Intel® Summary Statistics Library already contains functionality [...]

Intel® Summary Statistics Library: how to use the robust methods?

By Dmitry Kabaev (Intel) (11 posts) on January 14, 2009 at 7:38 am
Comments (0)

Intel® Summary Statistics Library provides several opportunities for processing the datasets “contaminated” with outliers.  Earlier I demonstrated how to detect “suspicious” observations in the dataset. Some ideas about performance of the algorithm for detection of outliers are provided here. Another approach to treat outliers is to use robust methods available in the library. I’d like [...]

Intel® Summary Statistics Library: how fast is the algorithm for detection of outliers?

By Dmitry Kabaev (Intel) (11 posts) on December 26, 2008 at 2:38 am
Comments (0)

In one of my previous posts I described the scheme for detection of outliers in datasets which is important component of the Intel® Summary Statistics Library. We included optimized version of this algorithm in the Update for the first version of the package that was recently released.  To have an idea about speed of the [...]
