A Stream Tilling Approach to Surface Area Estimation for Large Scale Spatial Data in a Shared Memory System
Surface area estimation is a widely used tool for resource evaluation in the physical world. When processing large scale spatial data, the input/output (I/O) can easily become the bottleneck in parallelizing the algorithm due to the limited physical memory resources and the very slow disk transfer r...
