Abstract
 Large Volume Map Generation via Grid Computing Track: Cartography and Map Production Author(s): Jeffrey Stewart Trekk has been using ArcWeb Services for several years now to generate custom route maps from a residential location to a point of interest for use in direct mail campaigns. These campaigns can range in volume from 10,000 recipients to 250,000 or more. Each requires a custom image to be generated. As demand for this service has grown, the need to produce more maps per hours has also grown. Trekk has evolved the process to increase production from 500 to 750 map images per hour to more than 15,000 images per hour. Trekk now uses a grid computing architecture to harness the throughput of dozens of CPUs within our corporate environment that would otherwise go unused. This presentation will provide a technical overview of the environment created and tips on using ArcWeb Services for this process.
