Implementation of OmniSci, an Open-Source GPU-powered SQL

Harvard’s Center for Geographic Analysis (CGA) has updated OmniSci Enterprise license and container’s version on the FAS High-Performance Computing Cluster and is using it to compute geography (global admin2 boundaries) as an added attribute for billions of tweets in CGA’s geotweet archive since 2010. OmniSci is also being used to create an interactive dashboard to visualize the relationship between climate change and people’s sentiment across space and time based on geotweets from the archive.
