Detailed Description

template<class T>
class casa::LatticeCache< T >

a class for caching image access via tiles

Intended use:

Public interface

Prerequisite

• Lattice

Etymology

This class divides an image into Tiles that are stored in a Cache.

Synopsis

An image is divided into tiles of a specified shape. Access to the image pixels is via these tiles. A cache of active tiles is kept in memory up to a specified limit in memory allocation. Tiles are flushed to disk using a Least-Recently-Used Criterion.

The tile size specified is the maximum dimension. Near the edge, smaller tiles are returned if necessary.

The offset needed to get back to true pixels is also available.

The cache hit rate for a sufficient number of random accesses goes as the ratio of cache size to image size.

Tiles may be overlapped. If there is any overlap then the caller is responsible for dealing with the overlap. Normally one will only want overlapping windows for additive operations in which case the additive flag to the constructor should be used.

Example

Motivation

To aid in gridding

casa::LatticeCache< T >::LatticeCache	(	Lattice< T > &	image,
		Int	cacheSize,
		IPosition	tileShape,
		Vector< Float > &	tileOverlap,
		Bool	additive
