Took a little bit of reading but the OP is founder of company [0] making a massively scalable geospatial database. This is the closest article [1] I can find which has anything close to details. It lists the following technologies: * A low level stack that bypasses the OS for at least disk IO (supposed to provide a 2-3x throughput increase) * "polymorphic" space-filling curves for distributed parallel indexing * hyper-dimensional spatial sieves [2] * Allen’s Interval Algebra to parallelise SQL statements More discussion on some of the OP's previous hacker news posts [3].
