Implementation of a Parallel Image Low-pass Filter Using Message Passing in a Cluster of Workstations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present the parallel implementation of a common image processing operation: the low-pass filter (LPF). The parallel LPF was implemented using the message passing programming model in a cluster of workstations. Our main goal is to reduce the response time of the filtering operation yet maintaining the quality of the processed image. In order to achieve this goal we developed a parallel implementation of image LPF. In this work we also analyze the performance of our implementation using different filtering mask dimensions on different image sizes and employing a variable number of processors (uniprocessors).

متن کاملA Parallel Implementation of the Everglades Landscape Fire Model in Networks of Workstations
This paper presents a low-communication overhead and highperformance data parallelism implementation of the Everglades Landscape Fire Model (ELFM) in a network of workstations (NOWs). Checkpointing and rollback techniques were used to handle the spread of fire which is a dynamic and irregular component of the model. A synchronous checkpointing mechanism was used in the parallel ELFM code using ...

This paper presents the basic parallel implementation and a variation for matrix vector multiplication. We evaluated and compared the performance of the two implementations on a cluster of workstations using Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. The experimental results demonstrate that the basic implementation achieves lower performance than the other variation. Further, we analyzed the sev...
