US 2011/0016379 A1 · System and Methodology for Data Processing Combining Stream Processing and Spreadsheet Computation

Abstract

A system and methodology for data processing combining stream processing and spreadsheet computation is described. In one embodiment, a system for data processing combining stream processing and spreadsheet computation comprises: one or more Cloudscale Stream Processors (CSPs), a Cloudscale-enabled spreadsheet, a web services architecture, and one or more data sources. Each CSP takes a set of streams of input data and outputs a set of streams of data. Each stream is a time-ordered stream of files which when concatenated together comprise the stream. The Cloudscale-enabled spreadsheet is used to provide a wide range of complementary capabilities that together with the CSPs provides a comprehensive and powerful data processing architecture.

Dependent claims

A system for processing of data streams, the system comprising:

at least one stream processing module that receives one or more input streams of data and produces one or more streams of output data;
and
a spreadsheet module that repeatedly performs a two-step cycle in which during the first step, new output data from said at least one stream processing module is input into spreadsheet cells of the spreadsheet, and then in the second step the spreadsheet module recalculates values in the spreadsheet cells based on the new output data provided during the first step of the cycle.
