Partitioning of Vector-Topological Data for Parallel GIS Operations: Assessment and Performance Analysis

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are able to manipulate spatial data. Such spatial data can be available in a variety of formats, one of the most important of which is the vector-topological. This format retains the topological relationships between geographical features and is commonly used in a range of geographical data analyses. This paper describes the implementation and performance of a parallel data partitioning algorithm for the input of vector-topological data to parallel processes.
