Efficient Processing of Spatial Joins Using R-trees
Summary: First detailed study of spatial join processing using R*-trees at scale, addressing CPU and I/O bottlenecks. Techniques yield order-of-magnitude speedup over naive approaches; buffering makes I/O near-optimal, validated on large real datasets. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
