Hello, I have just made the StatisticsImageFilter go ~58X faster on my multi-core platform for large data, by fixing the cache thrashing which was going on:
http://review.source.kitware.com/#/c/4771/1 When adjacent memory is modified by different processors, it must maintain consistency across the cores. This is of non-trivial expense then considered on the per-pixel level. If anyone is looking for an example case of bad cache thrashing I think this it about as good as you can do. I am just sending this e-mail to make sure everyone is on the look out for this type of problem, and will take a note (Jira?) of where similar enhancements can occur. Thanks for keeping an eye out, Brad ======================================================== Bradley Lowekamp Medical Science and Computing for Office of High Performance Computing and Communications National Library of Medicine [email protected]
