Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the issues involved with implementing computationally intensive medical imaging algorithms on a multiple-instruction, multiple-data (MIMD) and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) parallel processing computers. Implementation issues and timing analysis are presented for a 3D medical image registration algorithm implemented on a 16 processor SGI Challenge MIMD computer and on a 128
×
128 processor MasPar SIMD computer. The MIMD implementation is shown to have nearly
N-times performance improvement with respect to a single processor when using
N processors. It is also shown that the MIMD implementation is a minimum of four times faster than the SIMD implementation.
