User Support Success Story: Optimizing the Geodesic Application

04/14/2011
SIVO staff (Maharaja Pandian and Tom Clune) have assisted a NASA Center for Climate Simulation user by optimizing the performance of his Geodesic application, which is used to visualize satellite rainfall data by mapping the data onto a representation of the Earth's surface. In its initial form, the code took over a week to map a complete set of data at its highest resolution. After profiling several scenarios, SIVO implemented three separate performance enhancements in the application, yielding a net 88 fold reduction in execution time -- an improvement of nearly two orders of magnitude. Further optimizations may become necessary as the user pushes to even higher resolutions for certain categories of data.
