Download or read book Parallel Algorithms for Geographic Processing written by Qingfeng Guan and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Furthermore, with the largely improved computing power, the simplifying assumptions that had to be used in sequential computing to make the algorithm computationally feasible on a single-processor computer can be removed, and the findings obtained based on the simplifying assumptions may be altered. Parallelizing Geoprocessing provides geographers a computational test-bed to validate and discover new theories.
