Abstract :
Considers the parallel implementation on a transputer array of an algorithm for the super-resolution of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The authors consider two different approaches, both of which involve serial code running on a single master transputer, communicating with parallel code running on an array of slave transputers, where parallel code is only developed for those parts of the algorithm where the computation time justifies this. Firstly they take the simplest form of the super-resolution algorithm and parallelize the very large computations involved. Secondly they port the existing fast serial code to a single transputer, and develop parallel versions of selected routines where needed
