Parallel Universe is the industry's only SQL server to feature Parallel Query and Parallel Network Query (Distributed Query) with unprecedented speed, utilizing multiple CPU/cores and multiple server hardware while maintaining full compatibility with MySQL and Percona servers.
Parallel Universe is the industry's only SQL server to feature Parallel Query and Parallel Network Query (Distributed Query) with unprecedented speed.
Parallel Universe is created by extending MySQL server architecture and supports inter and intra server parallelism. Parallel Query incorporate intra server parallelism by processing tables in parallel with multiple threads (utilizing
multiple CPU/cores).
Parallel Network Query additionally incorporate inter server parallelism by distributing query processing to multiple servers in the network. Parallel Network Query may also be used to speed up slow server by distributing tables of the query to multiple servers for processing which effectively aggregates server resources (such as disk I/O bandwidth and CPU/cores).
Parallel Query and Parallel Network Query make Parallel Universe ideal for data warehouse, business intelligence/analytics and big data application. With Parallel Universe, you'll also be able to deploy less costly server hardware for the same query load/task.
Parallel Universe is released under the GPL license and fully compatible with MySQL and Percona servers.
Highlights
Fast Query Execution
Ideal for Data Warehouse server and Business Intelligence application
MySQL compatible, use existing database and queries

This listing carries no software charge — the software itself is free. Pricing is organized by AWS EC2 instance type, and you pick the hardware size that fits your workload. Each option bills hourly for the instance you run. The list spans many families, including general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and GPU instances (such as t2, m3, m4, c3, c4, r3, r4, i2, i3, d2, x1e, and cluster compute and GPU types). Larger instance sizes provide more compute, memory, or storage. You pay only for the running hours of your chosen instance type.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly unit for each instance type actually cover, since the software itself is free?
Each hourly unit meters one running EC2 instance of the size you pick. The software carries no charge, so the hours reflect the underlying AWS compute you use. You pick a family and size — such as general purpose, compute, memory, storage, or GPU — and pay for its running hours.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly meter counts running time only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue running-hour charges. Underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes may still apply while the instance is stopped, but those are separate from the running-hour charge for the instance itself.
How do I choose among the many instance types, and what changes as sizes grow?
Match the instance family to your workload: compute-optimized for processing, memory-optimized for large datasets, storage-optimized for disk-heavy jobs, and GPU types for graphics or parallel compute. Larger sizes within a family add compute, memory, or storage. The product runs on cluster compute Amazon Linux images across several AWS regions.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
