ChronosDB: Distributed, File Based, Geospatial Array DBMS

Summary: ChronosDB: distributed, file-based geospatial N-d array DBMS that delegates in-situ processing to mature raster tools, with a formal N-d array model to abstract files and tools. Rich, scalable array operations; outperforms SciDB by up to 75x on average. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
