(High Performance Computing &Parallel Image Processing)
Abstract: PIPS is a parallel image processing system developed at the TU Hamburg Harburg. The structure of PIPS is highly modular and hierarchical. The scope of the PIPS functionality reaches from basic low level services up to high end user interfaces. PIPS is based on the message passing principle and is therefore portable to most distributed memory architectures. A wide range of library functions, along with implementations of many typical image processing algorithms, make it easy to integrate new parallel algorithms into PIPS. Using the high end interfaces the user views the parallel system as a powerful coprocessor attached to the host machine.
