Developer’s Corner: High Performance JPEG Encoder for GeoServer

Blog ‐ Posted on 07.06.2013 by simone giannecchini

Dear all,We would like to talk about some work we did lately to add support in GeoServer for encoding JPEG GetMap responses using the libjpeg-turbo library.Citing its website the libjpeg-turbo library is a derivative of libjpeg that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, and ARM systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-4x faster than the unmodified version of libjpeg, all else being equal. I guess it is pretty clear now why we wrote this extension!The work was done in a quite modular manner. We created an ImageIO Writer and Reader...

Fun with MapStore: Italian UNESCO Sites as OpenData

Blog ‐ Posted on 20.05.2013 by simone giannecchini

Dear All,there days the Italian UNESCO Sites of interests have been released as OpenData via this portal (NOTICE; we were not involved :)).The data can be downloaded, there are WMS and WFS end endpoints available (using GeoServer), and there is a small webgis based on OpenLayers (which could actually be improved a litlle bit ;) ).Well, OpenData + Open Services, this is really nice so I thought I could share a map I created with the cloud version of MapStore the same data with proper querying capabilities and so on.So there you go, here below you can find a pretty simple map...
