HN discussionAlso worth checking out OmniSci, ( https://www.omnisci.com ), formerly known as MapD, which can query and visualize tens of billions of geospatial records in sub-second timeframes. See here for an interactive demo of 11.6 billion ship AIS records: https://www.omnisci.com/demos/ships . Note that the backend database is open source, but the rendering engine and web front end are part of the paid offering. [Disclaimer:…

HN discussionCheck out https://www.omnisci.com/learn/resources/gpu-database In summary, you get snappy, interactive query speeds on large data sets. I've ran that locally and the results are pretty amazing compared to Postgres or even Tableau in-memory. I'm personally more excited about GPUs in stream processing; its just quite a natural fit: https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf
