Dear list memers, My name is Visit, a newbie of this forum. I have been using MapServer for at least 4 years now on many research projects. It has served my research projects quite well.
Recently I am using MapServer to develop a real-world enterprise web application. I am developing a web-based GIS application using MapServer to serve thousands of users, and one of overheads of the system is on the map rendering provided by MapServer. At the moment the server I use to run MapServer doesn't have a graphic card (i.e. GPUs), but I wonder if I really want high performance of map-rendering from MapServer, can a graphic card (i.e. GPUs) equipped with the server enhance MapServer's map rendering speed and hence improve its map service speed? As a graphic card contains hundreds of GPU cores, e.g. NVDIA CUDA platform, and each core can compute and draw polygons in parallel, so I think this can improve the speed of map rendering (if used with MapServer) substantially. Do I understand this correctly? Thanks for your advice in advance, Visit Hirankitti Ph.D. Intelligent Communication and Transportation Lab King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang Thailand
