Miele-LXIV
Miele-LXIV is a 64-bit DICOM viewer and workstation developed by Alex Bettarini. The macOS version, written in Objective-C and built with Xcode, is available as a free download. The Windows and Linux versions are complete rewrites in C++ using CMake and wxWidgets, currently featuring about 25% of the macOS functionality. The Windows version requires OpenGL (Core profile), and users can request a free evaluation version by contacting the developer. The Linux version, built with gcc, also necessitates OpenGL drivers (Core profile) and has been tested on Ubuntu 24.04 and Linux Mint 22.1. Miele-LXIV is a DICOM workstation, viewer and more. The project started in November 2014 as a fork of the popular open source 32-bit project OsiriX, but it has been modified to become a 64-bit application and to remove many of the limitations of the 32-bit version.

StarTree
StarTree, powered by Apache Pinot™, is a fully managed real-time analytics platform built for customer-facing applications that demand instant insights on the freshest data. Unlike traditional data warehouses or OLTP databases—optimized for back-office reporting or transactions—StarTree is engineered for real-time OLAP at true scale, meaning:
- Data Volume: query performance sustained at petabyte scale
- Ingest Rates: millions of events per second, continuously indexed for freshness
- Concurrency: thousands to millions of simultaneous users served with sub-second latency
With StarTree, businesses deliver always-fresh insights at interactive speed, enabling applications that personalize, monitor, and act in real time.

InfiniDB
InfiniDB is a column-store DBMS optimized for OLAP workloads. It has a distributed architecture to support Massive Paralllel Processing (MPP). It uses MySQL as its front-end such that users familiar with MySQL can quickly migrate to InfiniDB. Due to this fact, users can connect to InfiniDB using any MySQL connector. InfiniDB applies MVCC to do concurrency control. It uses term System Change Number (SCN) to indicate a version of the system. In its Block Resolution Manager (BRM), it utilizes three structures, version buffer, version substitution structure, and version buffer block manager, to manage multiple versions. InfiniDB applies deadlock detection to resolve conflicts. InfiniDB uses MySQL as its front-end and supports all MySQL syntaxes, including foreign keys. InfiniDB is a columnar DBMS. For each column, InfiniDB applies range partitioning and stores the minimum and maximum value of each partition in a small structure called extent map.
