Analytics Acceleration, Purpose-Built in Silicon

The Analytics Processing Unit (APU) accelerates Apache Spark, batch ETL, and AI data preparation up to 100x - the data infrastructure layer that decides whether your AI strategy ships on time.

SIGMOD 2026 Best Paper: Microsoft's CoddSpeed benchmark features the Speedata APU. Read more

One Chip Can't Do It All

AI runs on data. The data layer is where modern infrastructure breaks.

GPUs train and serve models. But the work that feeds them - Apache Spark, batch ETL, AI data preparation - still runs on CPUs that weren't built for the volumes today's enterprises now process. Pipelines stall, SLAs slip, and the GPUs sit idle waiting for data.

 

The data layer isn't shrinking - it's compounding. That's the Analytics Processing Unit: a new class of silicon, purpose-built for the workloads that prepare structured data for analytics and AI.

The C200 Analytics Processing Unit

The C200 is the first processor architected specifically for the data layer - Apache Spark, batch ETL, and the AI data preparation pipelines that feed model training and inference.

​

CPUs serialize. GPUs parallelize for matrix math. The Analytics Processing Unit pipelines for analytics: row processing mapped directly into hardware, hundreds of stages advancing on every clock cycle, throughput measured at over a billion rows per second.

​

It drops into existing Apache Spark environments with zero code changes. PCIe form factor. Standard server integration. The silicon your data layer was missing.

Why Speedata

Purpose-built silicon for analytics acceleration - measured in performance, infrastructure footprint, and architectural fit.

Performance

• Up to 100x faster than CPU and GPU on accelerated workloads

• Over a billion rows per second, processed in hardware

• Batch jobs that took hours now run in minute

TCO & Footprint

• Up to 90% lower TCO on accelerated workloads

• Process more data on dramatically fewer servers

• Less rack space, less power, less cooling

Purpose-Built Fit

• Engineered for Apache Spark, ETL, and AI data preparation

• Zero code changes - drops into existing Spark

• Frees GPUs to focus on training and inference

Up to 100x Faster. Up to 90% Lower TCO. Zero Code Changes.

Production workloads, real customers, measured results.

Built for the Workloads That Matter Most

From batch ETL to agentic analytics, the APU accelerates the data layer your business runs on.

ETL Acceleration

Compress hours of batch ETL into minutes. Process larger datasets on fewer servers. Free your data engineering pipelines from CPU bottlenecks without rewriting a line of Spark.

AI Data Preparation

Feed GPUs faster. The APU accelerates the ingestion, transformation, and feature engineering pipelines that decide whether your AI projects ship on schedule. Up to 100x faster than CPU on the workloads AI training depends on.

Agentic Analytics

AI agents are creating new databases, querying them, and rebuilding them on the fly. That demand compounds at the data layer. The APU is built to absorb it - analytics throughput at the speed silicon allows.

Get the APU Your Way

Three deployment paths. Same acceleration. Standard server form factors.

01

Pre-Configured from Speedata

A fully integrated 2U server with two C200 accelerator cards, ready to run Apache Spark workloads out of the box. The fastest path to acceleration.

​

02

OEM Partners

Source servers equipped with the C200 through OEM partners Dell and HPE. Customize the server model and configuration to match your existing data center standards.

03

Speedata Acceleration for AWS

Keep your data in S3. Sync deltas to a Speedata-hosted environment, accelerate ETL and AI data prep on the APU, and push processed data back to AWS. Built for AWS-dependent customers.
