The challenges of providing a divide-and-conquer strategy for tackling large geospatial raster data input/output (I/O) are longstanding. Solutions need to change with advances in the technology and hardware. After analyzing the reason for the problems of traditional parallel raster I/O mode, a parallel I/O strategy using file view is proposed to solve these problems. Message Passing Interface I/O (MPI-IO) is used to implement this strategy. Experimental results show how a file view approach can be effectively married to General Parallel File System (GPFS). A suitable file view setting provides an efficient solution to parallel geospatial raster data I/O.
