| <h3>Introduction</h3> |
| <p>Quickstep is a next-generation data processing platform that starts |
| with an underlying relational kernel core. The key design philosophy |
| is to ensure that these kernels - and compositions of these kernels |
| - can exploit the full potential of the underlying hardware. Often |
| this design principle is called running at bare-metal speeds.</p> |
| |
| <p>The general idea is to build into the DNA of the platform methods |
| that fully exploit the common hardware that is available today, |
| including large main memories, fast on-die CPU caches, highly parallel |
| multi-core CPUs, and NVRAM storage technologies.</p> |
| |
| <p>For the hardware available in the future, we aim to co-design |
| hardware and software primitives that will allow the data processing |
| kernels to work on increasing amounts of data economically - both |
| from the raw performance perspective, and from the perspective of |
| the energy consumed by the data processing kernels and the applications |
| running on the platform.</p> |
| |
| <p>The current roadmap is to produce a platform that can run relational |
| database applications using SQL as the interface. The longer-term |
| roadmap is to cover a broader class of analytics.</p> |

| <h3>Try Quickstep</h3> |
| <p>Quickstep currently runs on a single node and supports a SQL |
| front-end. Quickstep aims to deliver high-performance and requires |
| no tuning and seamless setup. To get started, follow the |
| <a href="https://github.com/apache/incubator-quickstep/blob/master/README.md">quickstart |
| guide</a>. </p> |

| <h3>Disclaimer</h3> |
| <p>Apache Quickstep is an effort undergoing incubation at The |
| Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. |
| Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects |
| until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, |
| communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a |
| manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While |
| incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the |
| completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the |
| project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.</p> |
