Abstract

Splitting and merging ultra-high resolution 3D images is a requirement for parallel or distributed processing operations. Naive algorithms to split and merge 3D blocks from ultra-high resolution images perform very poorly, due to the number of seeks required to reconstruct spatially-adjacent blocks from linear data organizations on disk. The current solution to deal with this problem is to use file formats that preserve spatial proximity on disk, but this comes with additional complexity. We introduce a new algorithm called Multiple reads/writes to split and merge ultra-high resolution 3D images efficiently from simple file formats. Multiple reads/writes only access contiguous bytes in the reconstructed image, which leads to substantial performance improvements compared to existing algorithms. We parallelize our algorithm using multi-threading, which further improves the performance for data stored on a Hadoop cluster. We also show that on-the-fly lossless compression with the lz4 algorithm reduces the split and merge time further.
