Title
Geographic Information Systems Application on an ATM-based Distributed High Performance Computing System
Abstract
Abstract We present a distributed geographic information system (DGIS) built on a distributed high performance computing,environment using a number,of software infrastructural building blocks and computational resources interconnected by an ATM-based broadband network. Archiving, access and processing of scientic data are discussed in the context of geographic and environmental applications with special emphasis on the potential for local-area weather, agriculture, soil and land management products. Software technologies such as tiling and caching techniques can be used to optimise storage requirements and response time for applications requiring very large data sets such as multi-channel satellite data. Distributed High Performance Computing hardware technology underpins our proposed system. In particular, we discuss the capabilities of a distributed hardware environment incorporating: high bandwidth communications networks such as Telstra’s Experimental Broadband Network (EBN); large capacity hierarchical storage systems; and high performance parallel computing resources.
