Between classical and ideal: enhancing wildland fire prediction using cluster computing
2006
Cluster Computing
Preserved Fulltext
In order to accelerate the fire prediction, this enhanced prediction scheme has been developed in a fashion on a Linux cluster using MPI. ...
We propose going one step beyond the classical wildland fire prediction by linking evolutionary optimization strategies to the traditional scheme with the aim of emulating an "ideal" fire propagation model ...
Classical wildland fire prediction We used the laboratory fires described above to compare the prediction results provided by classical prediction with respect to the proposed enhanced prediction method ...
