Description

Aaron Williams explored the explosive growth in quantity of geospatial data and how this fueld the need to more frequently join geospatial data with traditional data. You’ll discover how those new scale requirements demand a massive improvement in speed and how GPUs can be used to accelerate the querying of geospatial data using an open source in-GPU-memory SQL database. Aaron demonstrates interactive analysis of the entire, global Open Street Map dataset as an example of what’s now possible.

Prerequisite knowledge

  • A basic knowledge of Python and machine learning

What you'll learn

  • Discover the more common joining of geospatial and traditional data in industries
  • Learn how GPUs are used to fuel interactive analysis of massive datasets
