Vancouver | Cloudless Landsat Preview
We’re working on the next release of Cloudless Atlas, processing thousands upon thousands of huge Landsat scenes. Many techniques carry over smoothly from our cloudless MODIS project, but the number of pixels is on another level entirely – on the order of 20 trillion. We’re planning for a cluster of 400 servers just to manage the petabytes of data downloads. The main pipeline, though: that will be a cloud unto itself, with just over 1000 high-end machines, each applying our tuned processing kernels to millions of pixels per second. It’s been fun crunching the numbers to get this set up, but the best part is seeing the beautiful images we can produce: www.mapbox.com/blog/cloudless-landsat-preview/
