Optimizing Multiple Compute Systems for Planetary Geospatial Data and Stereophotogrammetry: Practical and Theoretical Considerations for the Independent Researcher

Introduction The planetary stereophotogrammetry and high-resolution surface modeling work I do requires compute resources that span traditional workstation, server, and mobile platforms. Large institutional teams can use, or provide access to, shared clusters or centralized HPC environments. Postdoctoral scientists, graduate students, and small-team investigators often have to assemble and optimize their own compute workflows in … Read more
