Inherently Parallel Computations

چکیده

The term inherently parallel computation refers to a computation that can be performed successfully only on a parallel computer with an appropriate number of processors. Examples are computations that involve: time-varying variables, time-varying complexity, rank-varying complexity, interacting variables, uncertain time constraints, and variables obeying mathematical constraints. These computations also provide counterexamples to the existence of a universal computer [2]-[9], [13], [18]-[21].

On the non-sequential nature of the interval-domain model of real-number computation

We show that real-number computations in the interval-domain environment are “inherently parallel” in a precise mathematical sense. We do this by reducing computations of the weak parallel-or operation on the Sierpinski domain to computations of the addition operation on the interval domain.

Definitional Trees

Rewriting is a computational paradigm that specifies the actions, but not the control. We introduce a hierarchical structure representing, at a high level of abstraction, a form of control. Its application solves a specific problem arising in the design and implementation of inherently sequential, lazy, functional programming languages based on rewriting. For example, we show how to extend the ...

High Performance Implementation of Fuzzy C-Means and Watershed Algorithms for MRI Segmentation

Image segmentation is one of the most common steps in digital image processing. The area many image segmentation algorithms (e.g., thresholding, edge detection, and region growing) employed for classifying a digital image into different segments. In this connection, finding a suitable algorithm for medical image segmentation is a challenging task due to mainly the noise, low contrast, and steep...
