Abstract:
:We designed and implemented algorithms for three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of brain images from serial sections using two important supercomputer architectures, vector and parallel. These architectures were represented by the Cray YMP and Connection Machine CM-2, respectively. The programs operated on linear octree representations of the brain data sets, and achieved 500-800 times acceleration when compared with a conventional laboratory workstation. As the need for higher resolution data sets increases, supercomputer algorithms may offer a means of performing 3-D reconstruction well above current experimental limits.
