Gearman Based Distributed Computation of Space Target Photometry

Photometry is an important optical characteristic of space targets. Due to the huge computational volume of the photometry of the full-angle of a space target, the computation time is long and is difficult to meet the realistic demand. In this study, a Gearman based distributed parallel computation framework is constructed to automatically decompose and distribute the photometry computation tasks, automatically balance the computational load, and compose the computational results. This method divides the target photometry calculation into four independent variables, conducts distributed parallel calculation respectively, and finally integrates the calculation results into single target photometry information. The distributed parallel photometry computation method based on Gearman framework is important for fast computation of full-angle photometry data of space targets and assisting space target situational awareness tasks.
