Department of Geography: Faculty Publications
A general-purpose parallel Raster Processing programming Library (pRPL) was developed and applied to speed up a commonly used Cellular Automaton model with known tractability limitations. The library is suitable for use by geographic information scientists with basic programming skills, but who lack knowledge and experience of parallel computing and programming. pRPL is a general-purpose programming library that provides generic support for raster processing, including local-scope, neighborhood-scope, regional-scope, and global-scope algorithms as long as they are parallelizable. The library also supports multi-layer algorithms. Besides the standard data domain decomposition methods, pRPL provides a spatially-adaptive quad-tree-based decomposition to produce more evenly distributed …

The 2010 AALL Annual Conference was held in Denver this summer. With its many exciting sights and sounds, the Mile High City was an impressive host for the conference. While the city offered a number of fun and interesting diversions that could have tempted even the most dedicated conference attendees to sneak away, this year's exhibit hall was full of enough shiny gadgets and new technologies to warrant an extended visit. Among the many interesting products and services on display, a few common themes stood out; yet some technology was surprisingly absent. ... Hot technology trends were evident throughout the …
