Summary
LSEG announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to process its Tick History database with cuDF and acceleration technology. According to the tests LSEG presented, some analyses of years of data can go from hours to seconds. The database holds about 110 trillion records and 100 million instruments. The solution aims to keep access conditions in place without creating an extra full copy.
Why it matters
Data quality, speed and governance can create larger competitive advantages than switching AI models. Test results do not guarantee the same performance in every environment.
Practical implications
- Find the processes where data handling delays delivery.
- Evaluate acceleration and fewer copies before expanding infrastructure.
- Verify gains with representative data sets.
