摘要: Wind speed and direction are parameters that affect forest fire propagation dramatically. So, an accurate estimation of such is crucial to predict the precisely. WindNInja a wind field simulator can easily be coupled as FARSITE. However, simulators present main drawbacks: They take too much time compute they require lot memory. map partitioning strategy has been developed partial maps aggregated afterwards. Each part computed in parallel amount memory required available single node. In this work methodology determine most adequate presented. The shape, size, overlapping number parts have studied considering execution effects on estimation. results based wide experimentation validated with real case scenarios.
