Velocity Engine

The Velocity Engine is an in-memory calculation engine that harnesses the power of application resources to process and calculate vast amounts of data. The Velocity Engine is designed to supercharge Value Driver Trees when dealing with large datasets, providing faster calculation performance for complex data processing operations.

The Velocity Engine is designed to supercharge Value Driver Trees when dealing with large datasets. Users can enable the Velocity Engine for each Value Driver Tree by clicking "Use Velocity Engine" in the Calculation task, unlocking higher performance levels for complex data processing operations.

In-Memory Calculation Engine

  • In-Memory Processing - The Velocity Engine is a cutting-edge in-memory calculation engine that processes data in memory rather than relying on traditional disk-based operations.

  • Application Resources - The engine harnesses the power of application resources to maximize calculation performance and throughput.

  • Large Dataset Optimization - Designed specifically for Value Driver Trees dealing with large datasets, enabling efficient processing of vast amounts of data.

Performance Capabilities

  • Faster Calculations - Value Driver Tree optimizations deliver results 20-50% quicker when processing calculations.

  • Enhanced Performance - By enabling the Velocity Engine for each Value Driver Tree, users unlock a higher level of performance for complex calculations.

  • Large Data Processing - Process and calculate vast amounts of data efficiently, making the Velocity Engine ideal for enterprise-scale Value Driver Tree operations.

Enabling Velocity Engine

To enable the Velocity Engine for a Value Driver Tree:

  1. Navigate to the Calculation task for the Value Driver Tree
  2. Locate the "Use Velocity Engine" option
  3. Click on "Use Velocity Engine" to activate the in-memory calculation engine
  4. The Velocity Engine will be enabled for that specific Value Driver Tree step

The Velocity Engine can be enabled for each Value Driver Tree individually, allowing users to optimize performance for specific calculations that process large datasets.

Use Cases

  • Complex Budget Calculations - Enable Velocity Engine for Value Driver Trees processing detailed budget calculations across multiple departments, entities, and cost centers.

  • Large-Scale Forecasting - Use Velocity Engine when running forecast Value Driver Trees that process extensive historical data and generate predictions across numerous dimensions.

  • Multi-Entity Consolidation - Apply Velocity Engine to Value Driver Trees handling consolidation calculations across large numbers of entities with complex ownership structures.

  • Profitability Analysis - Enable Velocity Engine for Value Driver Trees performing profitability calculations across products, customers, and organizational hierarchies with large data volumes.
