Few industries are as metrics driven as telco and fewer still are as data rich. Everything in the telco world creates data: voice, video, customer calls, SIM cards, cell towers, network switches, even the trucks they drive produce telematics.
The challenge is that the growth of data rich services coupled with industry consolidation has created working sets that have overwhelmed the capacity of these organizations to evaluate their datasets in full - so they downsample, index and aggregate to avoid paying millions to scale out CPU solutions that were not designed for these types of tasks.
Enter the GPU and GPU-powered analytics. These massively parallel solutions turn minutes into milliseconds and provide full view of the operational landscape - not slivers.

Issuing iterative queries
becomes wearisome.
As little as 500ms reduces
interaction and limits the
amount of data covered.2
Analyst creativity
is impaired.
For large scale data problems,
potential avenues of
exploration are ignored
because the time cost is too
high to even consider.3
Slow Compute – The Bottleneck
Long response time
constrains questions asked.

Purpose Built + Highly Optimized
Query Compilation Engine creates one custom function
that runs at speeds approaching hand-written functions.
LLVM enables generic targeting of different architectures
+ run simultaneously on CPU/GPU.

Purpose Built + Highly Optimized
Backend Rendering — Data goes from compute (CUDA)
to graphics (OpenGL) pipeline without copy and comes
back as compressed PNG (~100 KB) rather than raw
data (> 1GB).
17. 17
Purpose Built + Highly Optimized
Streaming — Speed eliminates need to pre-index or
aggregate data. Compute resides on GPUs freeing CPUs
to parse + ingest. Finally, newest data can be combined
with billions of rows of “near historical” data.

Verizon
IMPACTCHALLENGE
Over the air (OTA) technology
is the primary way wireless
companies manage
subscribers (via SIM cards).
OTA polling + pushes create
massive data files.
Verizon’s legacy CPU powered
database did not allow real-
time queries – so they down
sampled to reduce time…. but
they sensed they were not
getting the whole picture.
The down sampling required
by CPU-era solutions was
missing key outliers.
Finding those outliers was
worth millions.
Additionally, ease of use drove
higher utilization thus more
informed decision-making.
All at a fraction of the cost.
Using MapD’s GPU-powered
database + visual analytics
engine, Verizon was able to
execute queries against the
entire SIM card population.
Further, Verizon was able to
query + visualize streaming
data + near historical data – for
the entire country or an
individual card.

Major US Cable Operator
IMPACTCHALLENGE
The business services team was
stuck with hardware and software
that only enabled them to look at
1x1 mile blocks.
Each new block required long wait
times — taking minutes to load.
As a result, there was no adjacent
discovery and they struggled to
optimize marketing around
capabilities and infrastructure.
The solution has completely
altered the company’s approach
for business services, resulting in
operational efficiencies
(discovered some contractors
“inspecting” the same property
10+ times), targeting marketing
more effectively (based on
capacity utilization based
marketing) and campaign
analytics.
Using GPU-powered visual
analytics from MapD and
NVIDIA the operator was able
to see their entire footprint –
eliminating the need to go
section by section.
Furthermore, they retained full
grain level detail on every
customer for when they
zoomed into a building or
residence.

Major Wireless Provider
IMPACTCHALLENGE
Client subscribed to third party
performance data to prioritize
what to upgrade to create
better coverage map claims.
Their current CPU-era
infrastructure only allowed
them to see 3% of the data in
any given region.
Using less HW the telco was
able to determine,
instantaneously, what
infrastructure projects would
yield the best ROI from a
coverage map perspective –
while improving customer
experience and reducing
dropped calls.
Using NVIDIA GPUs and
MapD the telco was able to
see and interact with their
national footprint – not a
neighborhood.
Zoom, cross-filter etc. all work
in real time.
