I'm still unsure how what they're describing differs from VoltDB. This initiative seems like it's primarily geared at churning out project names to continue to get industry attention.

(From my comment on another thread) VoltDB is focused on mutating an in-memory dataset at ultra-high speed with full transactions and ACID. SciDB is focused on analyzing petabytes of scientific data in array form, where people care about things like data provenance and accumulated error bounds. Almost polar opposites in use, but similar in philosophy. Both believe specialized systems are the way to handle specialized workloads.
