2. Performance vs. Resources trade-offs
- Still experimenting with memory configuration
- May need to split load between multiple machines
- Potential exists for heavy computations to be initiated on our hardware by remote users. GDS can be configured to control this impact.
B. Perhaps our web atlas software will eventually
use GDS.
