From a performance standpoint, the progression of Moore’s law means that more and more processing cores are now being packed into each CPU. Data volumes are growing faster than expected under Moore’s law, however, so companies need to plan to grow the capacity and performance of their systems over time by adding new nodes. To meet this need, Greenplum makes it easy to expand and leverage the parallelism of hundreds or thousands of cores across an ever-growing pool of machines. Greenplum’s massively parallel, shared-nothing architecture fully utilizes each core, with linear scalability and unmatched processing performance
