High Throughput Computing for Spatial Information Processing (HIT-SIP) System on Grid Platform

For many remote sensing application projects, the quality of the research or the product is heavily dependent upon the quantity of computing cycles available. Middleware is software that connects two or more otherwise separate applications across the Internet or local area networks. In this paper, we present the High Throughput Computing Spatial Information Processing (HIT-SIP) System (Prototype), which is developed in Institute of Remote Sensing Applications, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. Several middleware packages developed in the HIT-SIP system are demonstrated. Our experience shows that it is feasible that our grid computing testbed can be used to do remote sensing information analysis.
