Parallel Computation of Wavelet Transforms Using the Lifting Scheme

The lifting scheme [14] is a method for construction of biorthogonal wavelets and fast computation of the corresponding wavelet transforms. This paper describes a message–passing parallel implementation in which high efficiency is achieved by a modified data–swapping approach allowing communications to overlap computations. The method illustrated by application to Haar and Daubechies (D4) wavelets. Timing and speed–up results for the Cray T3E and the Fujitsu AP3000 are presented.

A High Performance Message-Passing System for Network of Workstations

With the proliferation of Network of Workstations (NOW) environment, there has been a great demand for a high performance message-passing system to implement High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC) applications over NOW environment. NYNET (ATM wide area network testbed in New York state) Communication System (NCS) is a multithreaded message-passing system developed at Syracuse University that provides low-latency and high-throughput communication services over the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) based HPDC environment. NCS provides High Performmance Application Communication Interface (HPI) to support applications that demand high-throughput and low-latency communication services.This paper outlines the general architecture of NCS and presents the implementation approach of NCS HPI over an ATM network. This interface has been developed by modifying Fore Systems' ATM Application Programming Interface (API) and its device driver. NCS HPI uses read/writetrap routines to bypass traditional operating system calls and kernel-level communication interface (e.g. UNIX System V Streams). It reduces latency, data transfer time, and avoid using traditional communication protocols (e.g., TCP/IP). This substantially improves the communication performance.
