The Architecture of High-Performance GIS

The focus of existing GIS is either on data management or on algorithm performance. There is a lack of comprehensive solutions for data management, geographic computing, and visualization. At the service level, existing systems emphasize the extensibility of services rather than high performance. The future development trend is to combine the latest computer technology and information technology, with a focus on solving problems related to large-scale geographic information applications. GIS should integrate with emerging application environments such as mobile internet, and enhance its integrated development with applications in related fields. Under the support of new computing architectures, new GIS software platforms need to construct a high-performance geospatial computation, spatial analysis, and storage environment at the infrastructure level, and build a wide-ranging and multi-tiered geospatial information service system at the upper level.
