Parallel processing for MODIStsp #135

Hi,

Many thanks for this wonderful and powerful package! I am currently processing 16 years' data for LST and am wondering if MODIStsp allows for a parallel process using multiple cores?

Hi,

Unfortunately not. Each date is treated separately (also because i would not know how tobdeal with multiple downloada frome the different cores).

Maybe you could try running separate modistp issues at once, one for each year. That would require running the tool from outside r via rscript, using differrnt optiins files. See https://lbusett.github.io/MODIStsp/articles/standalone_execution.html

This could lead however to memory problems, or problems in download due to concurrent download processes.
