Tableau Software has acquired HyPer, a high performance database system that was developed initially as a research project in 2010 at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). As part of the technology acquisition, Tableau says it will add key technical personnel and also plans to establish a research and development center in Munich and expand its research into high performance computing.
HyPer is a fast main-memory database system designed for simultaneous OLTP and OLAP processing without diminishing performance.
