Parallel Processing and Performance Optimization of Meteorological Satellite Mass-Data Program

Article Preview

Abstract:

We implemented parallel processing of polar-orbiting meteorological satellite MERSI data aerosol retrieval program. The parallel implementation was based on Linux cluster architecture. The master-slave parallel programming mode on MPI parallel environment was applied. Performance optimizations are made in load balance, communication overhead, storage and system I/O according to the specific environment. In addition, parallel speed-up ratio and efficiency were analyzed to evaluate the experiment results. Experimental results demonstrate that the parallel techniques and the performance optimization methods proposed here can significantly improve the efficiency of satellite mass-data processing program.
