A GPU-friendly Geometric Data Model and Algebra for Spatial Queries
Summary: GPU-friendly geometric data model and algebra for spatial queries; data represented as geometric objects with composable GPU operators enabling broader GPU-accelerated spatial processing. Prototype supports a subset of operators, delivering orders-of-magnitude speedups over CPU and outperforming bespoke GPU approaches. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
