Scientific Applications/Image processing

Most of parallel processing functions from science and other academic subjects, are mainly have based upon arithmetical simulations where huge quantities of data must be processed, in order to generate or test a model. Examples of such applications include:

• Optimisation of mechanical components,
• Blood flow circulation in the heart,
• Global atmospheric circulation,
• The evolution of galaxies,
• Atomic particle movement,

The production of practical moving pictures for television and the film production has become a big business. In the region of large computer animation, though a large amount of the work can be done on high order workstations, yet the input will frequently involve the application of parallel processing. Even at the inexpensive end of the pictures production spectrum, affordable systems for little production companies have been formed by connecting low-priced PC technology using a small LAN to farm off processing work on each picture to be produced.
