We separated the analytics from rendering at Graphistry, connecting GPUs on both ends. You'll notice most of their visualizations aren't showing much geometry in the client: Leveraging that, we aim for 15fps+ on datasets 100X+ bigger than normal stuff in browsers, and soon, even more. And we're looking into including MapD as part of our backend GPU analytics stack... so, yes! And if you're into visualization engineering like that, we're hiring :)
