EXPLORABLE VISUAL ANALYTICS SYSTEM HAVING REDUCED LATENCY

Abstract:

A method and system for processing datasets having a number of data points are described. A portion of the dataset is received and processed in parallel. A view on a display is updated to include a first section of the portion of the dataset after the first section completes processing but before a remainder of the portion of the dataset completes processing. In some aspects, the portion of the dataset can include up to one million or more data points. In some aspects, if a change from the view to a second view is received before processing has completed, an unusable part of the dataset is discarded and/or a reusable part of the dataset that has completed processing is reused for the second view. In some aspects, columns of different dataset may be correlated and/or processed data is provided such that the processed data may be rapidly rendered.
