China's open source time series database basic software Apache IoTDB ranks first in the world, according to the authoritative list of database transaction processing performance released by the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) at the International Conference on Very Large Databases in Guangzhou City on Friday.
The time series database is a new type of industrial software responsible for storing, managing, and analyzing massive data collected from industrial equipment sensors. It has become an important infrastructure for promoting industrial digital transformation.
Developed by the team of Professor Wang Jianmin of the School of Software, Tsinghua University, Apache IoTDB is designed to help enterprises control and predict equipment health and operating status in real time.
With breakthroughs achieved in core technologies of database software such as high data compression, end-edge-cloud connectivity, and large timing models since 2011, the enterprise version of IoTDB has provided basic enabling and security monitoring technologies for the development of complex equipment.
"For more than 10 years, we have used IoTDB as a carrier to actively explore new models for cultivating international high-end industrial software talents. Relying on the National Engineering Research Center for Big Data System Software, we have established the 'Industrial Big Data Software' Innovation Group supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. IoTDB related technologies and systems have been implemented in thousands of large-scale industrial enterprises around the world, including aerospace, energy and power, and engineering equipment, providing new quality productive forces for enterprises' digital transformation and development," Wang said.
In recent years, as the process of industrial digital transformation has deepened, the value of data in reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and improving quality in the manufacturing industry has gradually emerged. The Chinese government has constantly introduced policies to promote technological breakthroughs and industrial applications of basic software such as high-performance databases.

Macao has been emerging as a global hub for conventions and exhibitions in recent years by exploring the enormous opportunities in the sector, driving the region to advance its economic diversification and embrace a brighter future.
Macao has received many awards this year, such as the Best Convention City (Asia) and the Best BT-MICE City, showcasing the recognition for and influence of Macao's exhibition industry.
More than 1,000 electronic game enthusiasts from all over the world gathered recently in Macao to participate in a esports themed event.
Su Zhili, organizer of the event, said that Macao's rich experience in hosting large-scale events, coupled with its good infrastructure, has driven him to choose the region as an ideal destination to hold such an activity.
"Macao has held many similar large-scale events. It has rich experience, and the facilities at the venue are relatively mature, so we can start our work comfortably," said Su.
During the first three quarters of 2024, Macao held more than 1,000 conferences and exhibitions in total.
"We will invite more professional, special conferences to be held in Macao and also cultivate more exhibition brands with international influence in Macao, so as to promote Macao's exhibitions to be more market-oriented, professional, international, digital and greener from various aspects. This is our goal," said Elaine Wong, member of the Macao Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute.
In addition, multiple large exhibitions and conferences, such as the Macao International Trade and Investment fair, the Macao Franchise Expo, and the International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum, are held regularly in Macao.
With the introduction of a series of policies and measures to facilitate the exchanges between the mainland and Macao, as well as the construction and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, Macao's convention and exhibition industry will embrace more opportunities for development in the foreseeable future.
"We have such a good industrial base in the Greater Bay Area. The mode of 'Convention and Exhibition + Industry' not only integrates the industries of Macao, but also the industries of the Greater Bay Area. In addition, Macao actively integrates into the national development and plays a role in the Belt and Road. Why are we so confident in Macao's convention and exhibition sector? Because it is backed by the motherland, and the country gives Macao great support," said Alan Ho, chairman of the Macao Association of Convention, Exhibition and Tourism Sectors.
