Abstract

GIS processing of large sets of geo-referenced tiles is usually very time-consuming for users. These computations rarely take benefits of PC clusters or Grid computing and are too often run onto simple desktop PC. This is mainly due to the difficulty of parallel programming. In this paper we propose an easy way to greatly accelerate this process for the class of GIS computations which involve local data accesses. For the moment, our framework deals with non communicating parallel processes.
