29. Geospatial.mit.edu Integration of 3 research labs: MIT Auto-ID Lab and Geonumerics Group MIT Center for GRID Computing MIT Intelligent Engineering Systems Lab Working to advance geospatial capabilities and address the “Big Data Problem” Their integrated mission is to deploy a next generation open source geospatial platform, which provides more granular analytic capabilities and faster processing for complex queries by utilizing parallel processing capabilities (grid computing, GPU, and multicore). Ongoing projects: Smart city and smart grid Anti-counterfeiting in supply chains Grid computing Geonumerics research in multicore
