Data engineers know that eventing is all about speed, scale, and efficiency. Event streams — high-volume data feeds coming off of things such as devices such as point-of-sale systems or websites logging stateless clickstream activity — process lightweight event payloads that often lack the information to make each event actionable on its own. It is up […]

Simulating how bulk and granular materials interact with equipment, containers, and one another is a critical capability for industrial, manufacturing, and life science organizations. The larger these simulations, the more accurate they become, decreasing the time and expense companies must spend iterating designs and prototypes. Altair and Google Cloud recently collaborated to see how large […]

The climate-change clock is ticking, and the carbon-free energy transition needs to happen fast, and at global scale.
