Description

The current terrain.get_terrain_attribute function loads the entire DEM into memory, which can be inefficient for large datasets. There is a need to implement a multiprocessing version that handles large DEMs by processing them in tiles, reducing memory usage, and improving performance through parallel computation. This function should allow users to calculate multiple terrain attributes efficiently using multiprocessing while keeping DEMs on disk.
