[comp.parallel] parallel interpolation algorithm

rcodd@chudich.co.rmit.OZ.AU (David Doan) (07/18/90)

I am currently trying to map a sequential polynomial interpolation
algorithm onto a parallel system.

I would appreciate any information on how I should do this
or if there is a source that I might learn of a 
parallel polynomial interpolation algorithm.

The application is to enhance an image through 
reducing the noise (contrast enhancement) in an
X-ray image.

I would like to hear of any parallel mechanism that
may be of use to me.

Thank you

Polynomial interpolation can be reformulated as a problem in polynomial
multiplication. See, for example, Aho, Hopcroft & Ullman, The Design
and Analysis of Computer Algorithms.

For parallel methods of polynomial multiplication, based upon the use
of FFT techniques and Residue Number Systems see the following:
