Remote Access to Very Large Image Repositories, A High Performance Computing Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
The main challenges of using the increasingly large repositories of remote imagery data can be summarized in one word: efficiency. The efficiency of storage, transport, access and evaluation are even more critical when high performance computing environments are involved. In this paper, a number of concrete problems and the chosen solutions are described, based on the construction of a 5TB global Landsat 7 mosaic.

Despite the immense performance of modern computing systems, many scientific problems are of such complexity and scale that a wide variety of computing hardware must be employed concurrently. Moreover, as the required hardware often is not available as part of a single system, scientists often are forced to exploit the computing power of a very diverse distributed system. As many different type...
متن کاملThe aDORe Federation Architecture
The need to federate repositories emerges in two distinctive scenarios. In one scenario, scalability-related problems in the operation of a repository reach a point beyond which continued service requires parallelization and hence federation of the repository infrastructure. In the other scenario, multiple distributed repositories manage collections of interest to certain communities or applica...
