Abstract
We discuss applications of high resolution geostationary
satellite imagery and distributed high performance computing
facilities for the storage, processing and delivery of satellite data
products. We describe our system which is 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. 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. We also describe a recent demonstration of our project
resources to the remote-sensing user community.
