The specialization of the system allows us to avoid the inefficiencies of existing alternatives, and make full use of modern parallel high-performance computing hardware. We then present a series of experiments showcasing the system{\textquoteright}s ability to analyze correlations in the entire GDELT 2.0 database containing more than a billion news items. The results reveal large scale trends in the world of today{\textquoteright}s online news.}, year = {2020}, journal = {2020 IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium Workshops (IPDPSW)}, month = {05/2020}, publisher = {IEEE}, }
