Hi, I wanted to point out some new work being developed in open source to speed up Java map drawing, the Marlin renderer: https://github.com/bourgesl/marlin-renderer
The renderer is an improved version of the Pisces renderer found in the OpenJDK builds, which provides significant speed up over Pisces, and significant scalability benefits over Ductus, the closed source rasterizer included in the Oracle JDK binary builds. I believe this to be of interest of anyone running/developing Java GIS applications against OpenJDK, and of anyone doing multi-threaded map rendering against any JDK (examples coming to mind, DeeGree and uDig). So, I invite you to give it a spin and report back, we also have a mailing list to share experiences and coordinate development here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/marlin-renderer Here are some benchmark results for the specific case of GeoServer to wet your appetite: http://geo-solutions.blogspot.it/2014/02/geoserver-improved-scalability.html Cheers Andrea -- == Our support, Your Success!
