You can also find a complete guide &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/cramja/incubator-quickstep/blob/master/BUILDING.md&quot;&gt;here in our documentation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
 
 &lt;p&gt;If you\u2019re going to build Quickstep, you\u2019ll first need to clone it from Github and initialize the submodules&lt;/p&gt;

-Quickstep is a next-generation data processing platform that starts with an underlying relational kernel core. The key design philosophy is to ensure that these kernels - and compositions of these kernels - can exploit the full potential of the underlying hardware. We call this design principle running at bare-metal speed.
+Quickstep is a high performance database engine. We currently support a SQL interface with plans to support advanced machine learning operations.
 
-Bare-metal means to fully exploit the latest hardware trends including large main memories, fast on-die CPU caches, highly parallel multi-core CPUs, and NVRAM storage technologies.
+Quickstep's design starts with an underlying relational kernel core. The key design philosophy is to ensure that these kernels - and compositions of these kernels - can exploit the full potential of the underlying hardware. We call this design principle running at *bare-metal speed*. Bare-metal means to fully exploit the latest hardware trends including large main memories, fast on-die CPU caches, highly parallel multi-core CPUs, and NVRAM storage technologies.
 
 For the hardware available in the future, we aim to co-design hardware and software primitives that will allow the data processing kernels to work on increasing amounts of data economically - both from the raw performance perspective, and from the perspective of the energy consumed by the data processing kernels and the applications running on the platform.
