Advantages

✅ Server Benefits:

• Chỉ làm việc I/O (download) → tải nhanh
• Không phải xử lý → tránh lãng phí CPU
• Server sẵn sàng cho task khác sau khi xong

✅ Local Benefits:

• Toàn quyền kiểm soát xử lý
• Dễ debug (intermediate results)
• Dễ thay đổi tham số (không cần quay lại server)
• Có GPU → xử lý nhanh hơn
• Có thể reprocess dữ liệu anytime

✅ Overall:

• ❌ Không bao giờ lại 403 TB OOM error
• ✅ Tất cả hoạt động nhanh & mượt
• ✅ Dễ debug & tái tạo
• ✅ Linh hoạt & dễ mở rộng

Files Created/Modified

Modified:

• ✏️ 01.prepare_data_on_server.ipynb (Simplified - removed processing)

Created:

• 📝 02.process_and_train_local.ipynb (NEW - all local processing)
• 📝 SIMPLIFIED_WORKFLOW.md (Detailed explanation)
• 📝 QUICK_REFERENCE.md (Quick guide)

Unchanged:

Step-by-Step Usage

Step 1️⃣: Run on Server

# On server machine
jupyter notebook 01.prepare_data_on_server.ipynb

# Run all cells (should complete in 10-20 min)
# Output: data_for_training/ folder (80-100 GB)

Step 2️⃣: Download to Local

# Transfer data to local machine
scp -r user@server:data_for_training/ ./

# Or use FTP/rsync (takes 30-60 min depending on bandwidth)

Step 3️⃣: Run Locally

# On local machine
jupyter notebook 02.process_and_train_local.ipynb

# Run all cells (should complete in 30-60 min on CPU, 10-15 min on GPU)
# Output: model_cnn_pytorch_local.pth

Step 4️⃣: Make Predictions

# On local machine
jupyter notebook 03.predict_CNN_PyTorch_local.ipynb

# Run all cells (should complete in 5-10 min)
# Output: Classification maps (SHP/TIF)

Performance Comparison

Metric	Old	New
Server computation	30-60 min	10-20 min (only load)
Local computation	None	30-60 min (all processing)
Memory peak	403 TB (crash!)	20 GB (manageable)
Flexibility	Low	High
Debug capability	Hard	Easy
Total time	∞ (fails)	1-2 hours

---

Configuration Preserved

All processing parameters unchanged:

• ✅ Monthly chunking (13 months)
• ✅ Dask chunks: 512×512×1
• ✅ Cloud masking: SCL band
• ✅ NDVI: (NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red)
• ✅ Fill: Seasonal interpolation (4 seasons)
• ✅ Aggregation: Monthly averages
• ✅ CNN: Same architecture & hyperparameters

Only difference: Where computation happens (server vs local)

5. Run Notebook 02 locally
6. Train model & evaluate
7. Run Notebook 03 for predictions
