SingleStore will host a speaking session on Wednesday, June 8th from 5:25-5:55pm in the Franciscan Room. Nikita Shamgunov, the CTO and co-Founder of SingleStore, will conduct a live demonstration, PowerStream, based on real-time data from 2 million sensors on 197,000 wind turbines installed on wind farms around the world. This session showcases SingleStore Streamliner, an integrated Apache Spark solution, which is at the core of PowerStream, and enables real-time predictions on the health of each wind turbine.
