•Data divided into
“tiles” can be treated as one consolidated GPhys object. Convenient to handle long time sequence
divided
by periods (such as by years) or outputs from parallel simulations
on distributed-memory machines. Tiling is done by VArrayComposite.
•Subsets can be
handled (see the figure below)
•May be applicable to
parallel simulations in future?
•So far, automatic
configuration is available only for NetCDF, by using an Array or
Regexp (e.g., /data_x(\d)y(\d).nc/ for data_x0y0.nc, data_x0y1.nc,
data_x1y0.nc, data_x1y1.nc)
