Definition

Stream processing is a computational paradigm for on-the-fly analysis of live data at scale. Given the ever-increasing number of online data sources, rate of streaming data, and growing demand for timely analysis, stream processing has gained an important place in today’s data-driven solution architectures. A key feature of the stream processing paradigm is its amenability to parallel execution, which in turn makes stream processing an attractive domain for taking advantage of modern hardware.

To cope with the increased power consumption associated with frequency scaling, hardware manufacturers have moved toward processors and coprocessors that contain multiple cores. Such designs can provide increased computational capacity without having to work at high frequencies and thus do not suffer from high power consumption. Yet, taking advantage of such hardware requires additional effort on the software side.

In the context of stream processing systems, three major kinds of...
