Spark Summit 2016 kicks off this week with more than ninety sessions and five tracks to choose from in the heart of San Francisco. The three-day marathon of learning, which includes an entire day dedicated to Spark Training, attracts more than 2,500 engineers, business professionals, scientists, and analytic enthusiasts from across the country.
Throughout the show, speakers will address the different ways that companies are leveraging Spark and emergent ecosystems that have developed from new user needs.
MemSQL will host a speaking session on Wednesday, June 8th (tomorrow) from 5:25-5:55pm in the Franciscan Room. Nikita Shamgunov, the CTO and co-founder of MemSQL, will conduct a live demonstration, PowerStream, based on real-time data from two million sensors on 197,000 wind turbines installed on wind farms around the world. This session showcases MemSQL 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. Nikita will delve deeper than just a demo, he will also discuss building a pipeline for predictive analytics with Apache Kafka, machine learning, MemSQL, and integration with Tableau.
