The first release of MegaMatcher Accelerator 10.0.

  • New edition: MegaMatcher Accelerator Extreme. New MegaMatcher Accelerator Extreme edition is introduced which allows to achieve up to 10x identification performance increase and up to 4x database capacity increase (comparing to previous version top configuration) to meet the most demanding requirements.
  • Improved biometric algorithms. Improved fingerprint matching algorithm (better quality with Speed Level 1, better speed with Speed Level 8).
  • Improved parallel server configuration. Reworked replication allows a lot easier and more reliable connection of servers to parallel systems. Now once database is replicated, the MMA is automatically synchronized without additional configuration. New scenarios become possible, such as connecting more than two servers in replication chain or more complex topology. Previously used complex parallel server configurations are longer supported. In case upgrading from previous version of MMA where parallel servers were setup, it is needed to reconfigure to use the new method.
  • New RESTful administration API. Now all the functionality available for administrator from WebConfig is also exposed through RESTful API for programmatic access. This allows new automation and integration with other systems scenarios. The API covers full range of available administration operations and replaces very limited NCluster API.
  • NCluster API is now deprecated. For biometric operations, NBiometricClient should be used. For administrative operations, the new RESTful API should be used.
