Last Updated:Mar 30, 2026

GanosBase Geometry Pyramid accelerates the rendering of two-dimensional geometry big data.

Data requirements

Supported geometry types

Geometry Pyramid supports the following 2D geometry types:

Category Types
Atomic types Point, Line, Polygon
Collection types MultiPoint, MultiLine, MultiPolygon

ID field

Each data record must include an ID field that meets the following requirements:

  • Data type: uint4 or uint8

  • Value: a unique positive integer across the table

Spatial indexes

Create spatial indexes on all geometry fields before building a pyramid.

Coordinate system support

Data format Supported coordinate systems
Standard geometry data All EPSG coordinate systems
MTP-formatted geometry data EPSG:3857 and EPSG:4326 only

If your MTP-formatted data uses a coordinate system other than EPSG:3857 or EPSG:4326, convert it before building a pyramid.

Hardware requirements

The following configuration is recommended for production workloads:

Resource Recommended specification
CPU 32 cores
Memory 64 GB
Storage 500 GB SSD

At this specification, Geometry Pyramid can process approximately 100 million records in about 15 minutes.

Storage overhead: The pyramid index does not exceed 10% of the storage space of the source data.
