Overview of SciDB: Large Scale Array Storage, Processing and Analysis

Summary: Massively parallel, open-source array DB for petabyte-scale scientific data; introduces a novel storage manager, array data model, and extensible query language. Architecture and design enable parallelized array processing across astronomy, climate, biology, and large-scale log analytics. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
