Processing Large Remote Sensing Image Data Sets on Beowulf Clusters: Open-File Report 2003-216

Processing Large Remote Sensing Image Data Sets on Beowulf Clusters: Open-File Report 2003-216 by Daniel R. Steinwand is published by BiblioGov on February 11, 2013, and consists of 30 pages in English. This report explores high-performance computing, particularly focusing on the efficiency of floating-point calculations and the architecture of parallel computers. It addresses the movement of large datasets within these systems, highlighting specific applications software and system-level modifications relevant to remote sensing data processing.
Readers will find detailed discussions on various applications, including a smoothing filter for time-series data and a parallel implementation of the decision tree algorithm used in land cover characterization. The report also examines a parallel Kriging algorithm for fitting field-collected data on invasive species to a regular grid, along with enhancements to the Beowulf project’s resampling algorithm for larger datasets. Additionally, it includes a feasibility study on Flat Neighborhood Networks and modifications involving Parallel File Systems, providing insights into engineering and computer modeling within the context of remote sensing and data management.
Official synopsis Publisher
High-performance computing is often concerned with the speed at which floating- point calculations can be performed. The architectures of many parallel computers and/or their network topologies are based on these investigations. Often, benchmarks resulting from these investigations are compiled with little regard to how a large dataset would move about in these systems. This part of the Beowulf study addresses that concern by looking at specific applications software and system-level modifications. Applications include an implementation of a smoothing filter for time-series data, a parallel implementation of the decision tree algorithm used in the Landcover Characterization project, a parallel Kriging algorithm used to fit point data collected in the field on invasive species to a regular grid, and modifications to the Beowulf project’s resampling algorithm to handle larger, higher resolution datasets at a national scale. Systems-level investigations include a feasibility study on Flat Neighborhood Networks and modifications of that concept with Parallel File Systems.
