Traditional algorithms and commercial GIS software cannot meet the demand of fast processing large data size raster image tiling. In view of these shortcomings and problems, this paper summarizes the current parallel tiling technology and then puts forward a new parallel raster image tile method which named “ParaTile”. ParaTile adopts the shared disk parallel technology, using multi-process to divide the source raster image. Each process of ParaTile is read and written independently to the area that it is owned based on MPIparallel IO function. Finally, each process saves the output tile results independently according to the TMS(Tile Map Service) or the standard made by Google Tile. Experiments are tested by different level size of the remote sensing image, the results show that no matter in speed or stability ParaTile algorithm has a great improvement in the same parallel level compared to ArcGIS software, especially the larger size of data the more advantages are. %U http://cea.ceaj.org/EN/10.3778/j.issn.1002-8331.1608-0322
