- Q. What sets Lucid apart from systems that claim to do something similar?
A. Lucid’s proprietary technology simultaneously solves for the malignancy of nodes and links in a network, a sharply different approach from historical methods, which only analyze nodes and links separately. Of course, the probability that an actor or a link is malignant can only be determined in the context of both. Only Lucid’s approach can accurately identify hidden networks without prior knowledge of their existence.
- Q. Is Lucid a program for the analyst’s desktop?
A. Lucid is a graph analysis application that must be run on a high-performance system appropriate for the size of the dataset. That system may be a single CPU server or a massively parallel cluster. However, in all instances, its user interface will be accessible on a standard desktop computer.
- Q. What computing resources does Lucid require?
A. Lucid’s technology scales to the size of the applied dataset. Therefore, the more nodes and links to be analyzed, the greater the computing power required for a timely analysis. Lucid is designed take advantage of massively parallel computing environments, if available, but will run on a UNIX system of any size.
- Q. Is Lucid compatible with my data resources?
A. Lucid is designed to support existing information assets. Implementations will vary in complexity, but will typically not require a major integration effort on the customer’s part.
