Streaming Tiles for Big Images
Overlapping I/O with compute.
When the Image Is Too Big
A huge image may not fit in GPU memory, or copying it whole stalls the pipeline. The fix is to split it into tiles and process them in turns. 🖼️
Cut Into Chunks
Slice the image into row bands or rectangular tiles. Each tile is small enough to upload, process, and download without straining device memory.
