G-Research

At G-Research, puzzles have a habit of appearing everywhere. GRiddles is a competition inspired by that culture. If you enjoy getting stuck, thinking sideways and coming back for another go, you’ll probably feel at home here!

How does Parquet read only the columns a query needs? At G-Research, we process vast quantities of financial data every day, so these details directly affect our infrastructure costs and query performance. Our Open-Source Software Developer, Adam Reeve, breaks down row groups, encodings and the Dremel algorithm behind modern analytics, in the first article of our six-part series on data storage formats.

How does Apache Arrow share data across processes and languages without serialisation? In part two of our six-part series on alternatives to Apache Parquet, our Open-Source Software Developer, Adam Reeve, breaks down zero-copy access, columnar memory layout and Arrow Flight.

Why is random access so hard in Parquet? In part three of our six-part series, our Open-Source Software Developer, Adam Reeve, explains how Lance drops row groups, separates structure from compression and supports vector search for AI workloads.

This year’s NeurIPS has sold out, but we’re giving you another chance to attend. Apply for fully funded attendance in Sydney and join G-Research at one of the world’s leading ML and AI conferences. While you’re there, connect with our researchers at our networking events, including a yacht party on Sydney Harbour.

🌍 Missed out on NeurIPS in Sydney? 🌍 The conference may be sold out, but we're offering another chance to attend one of the world's leading AI and machine learning conferences in Sydney. Through our NeurIPS 2026 travel grant, we're offering a limited number of fully funded places, covering conference passes, flights, accommodation and daily expenses. Join researchers from around the world to exchange ideas, explore the latest developments in AI and ML and hear about the research shaping the field. Applications close Friday 6th November.
