Pursuing spatiotemporally integrated social science using cyberinfrastructure

The rich details of space-time complexity in social science remain largely unexplored because of the challenge of intensities of data and computing. The current space-time simulation and statistics for social science research can only deal with a limited amount of data. We introduce a pilot study about how to deploy the modern accelerator technology and hybrid computer systems to extend the National Institute of Justice-funded Near-repeat calculation, a typical social science application? This pilot study demonstrates that it is promising to leverage high performance computing for solving large-scale space-time interaction problems, which has long been a challenging statistical issue for spatiotemporally integrated social science.
