PLVIP–– a parallel image processing library based on the vertical processing principle

The experimental library PLVIP for parallel image processing, elaborated and implemented in the Image Processing Laboratory of the ICM&MG SB RAS is described. The library is built on the vertical processing principle and is installed on the multiprocessor computers of the Siberian Supercomputer Center, MVS-1000/M and RM600-E30. The basic characteristics of this library (supported data formats, computational process organization, implemented subprograms) and an example of its application are considered.
