[GRASSLIST:8829] Re: GRASS and xgrid

[James Conolly]

Jachym,

xgrid is a method for parallel processing, not a data format. The issue is that I'd like to run many (many) r.los (or r.cva on a large sample) - I've estimated what I need is in the region of a few months+ processing time. I've got xgrid running in my lab, but there are issues (a) with the grass shell and (b) the fact that the code for r.cva or r.los isn't parallel. I could break the job down into chunks and send it to xgrid to have it farmed out, but I'd like to know if anybody has already tried this.

Cheers, James
