Disclaimer
What follows is just "chicken scratchings" for the
LDRD Final Report.
Problem definition
Data is too big to practically move to a local workstation, won't fit on
a local workstation, and can't be processed/visualized on a local workstation.
Taxonomy
-
Make data smaller, render locally (e.g. subsets, subsampling)
-
Render everything remotely and show image locally
-
Render some pieces remotely and some locally
-
Combinations of the above, e.g. thumbnails of canned analysis
