[R-sig-Geo] parallelize projectRaster()

[Jonathan Greenberg]

Yerguner:

Have you tried first converting the NetCDF to another "friendlier"
raster format (netcdf isn't really a raster format, keep in mind)--j
first via gdal_translate?  Then you can follow up with a gdalwarp.
Keep in mind gdalUtils is merely a wrapper for the GDAL Utilities --
from their documentation on NetCDF
(http://www.gdal.org/frmt_netcdf.html):

"If the file contains only one netCDF array which appears to be an
image, it may be accessed directly, but if the file contains multiple
images it may be necessary to import the file via a two step process.

The first step is to get a report of the components images (dataset)
in the file using gdalinfo, and then to import the desired images
using gdal_translate. The gdalinfo utility lists all multidimensional
subdatasets from the input netCDF file.

The name of individual images are assigned to the SUBDATASET_n_NAME
metadata item. The description for each image is found in the
SUBDATASET_n_DESC metadata item. For netCDF images will follow this
format: NETCDF:filename:variable_name"
