Re: [OSM-dev] Openstreetmap and the AMD 48 core contest

[jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com]

here is my submission :
http://xhema.flossk.org:8081/blog/members/h4ck3rm1k3/activity/204/

My submission to AMD, what would I do with 48 cores.

1. remove windows and install debian GNU Linux
2. setup a mapserver for the giscorp/openstreetmap project.
3. setup gdal tools to process the gigabytes of image files we have.
4. setup an mapnik rendering engine
5. use the 48 core for compiling mapnik, it is a beast.
6. install some of my high speed c++ code
https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesmikedupont/+junk/EPANatRegand
tune that for processing the osm data on many cores. t
7. setup a feed from the openstreetmap changes server to download and
process all new data from osm.
8. setup a splitting tool to split all the osm data into smaller files and
then host them on a git server for easy access.
I don’t even need physical access to the machine, just put it on the net and
give me the root password!

[Ian Dees]

I'll apply for this... Anyone have any video of mapping activity or mapping
party? If there's a few minutes-worth of good footage I'll mix together a
video, otherwise a blog or essay will have to do.
