Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer on Intel Atom?
Just out of curiosity, With what reason would you like to have a mapserver on a mobile device? I assume mostly to have some sort of localhost connection from a local application, and in that case, I would opt for a solution where one can for instance download raster-tiles from a server to the mobile device that are then used by the application through more simplified functions, for vector the same procedure, download vectors and make them available through libraries. Installing a httpserver with mapserver as a cgi app sounds like a bit of overkill. Perhaps the mobile app can simply use gdal and ogr libraries. Dan Little wrote: I agree with where Jukka is going...

Hi, You say that your raster layer is slower than vector layers, but do you feel it is too slow? Your image should be served pretty fast by Mapserver. The key is that tiff file is tiled (for zoom-in situation) and that it has overviews (for zoom-out case). Could you send the gdalinfo report about your image if you suffer from slowness? -Jukka Rahkonen- -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] Puolesta kreshna_icehe...@yahoo.com Lähetetty: 13. tammikuuta 2009 12:35 Vastaanottaja: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org; Dan Little Aihe: Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer on Intel Atom? Hi, thanks. The vectors are quite simple. I've never experienced slow down when displayed vector data, not even on an old Toshiba M20 laptop. Raster, on the other hand, is always the biggest problem. Compared to polygons, my raster is always slower to zoom, to pan, etc (despite the size is only 500 Mb). Is displaying raster more CPU-intensive or memory-intensive? If I'm using Intel Atom, will my raster be affected severely? Also, can using bigger RAM (let say, 2GB or so) compensate for the lack of processing power of Intel Atom?

Oops, sorry. Should have read the initial post, for demonstration purposes, using datasets that are not to big sounds possible to me. Dan Little wrote: I agree with where Jukka is going...
