This is the first I’m hearing of Unum. Their benchmarks are impressive. I’ve often wondered how much we are held back in performance by all the layers of abstraction on data storage (db, os, filesystem, disk layout) and it seems they’re able to significantly beat the incumbents, partly by collapsing down the layers.
I’m not sure what BLAS has to do with a key-value store.

Not sure if I could describe our methodology better)) We originally come from and hope to continue working on AGI technologies (Artificial General Intelligence). Writing a key-value store and, subsequently, a DBMS came out of necessity, as other solutions seemed too bulky, slow, outdated and expensive. So we invested time into building UnumDB for internal use, but after first benchmarks, it was clear, that this must be available to broader audience. We will polish it in the next couple of months and make it deployable in public clouds, just like other DBMS brands. Now DBMS is our central focus, but with essential R&D out of the way, we will rebalance our priorities and continue working on BLAS and sparse neural nets.
