The performance of a multiprocessor computer system in histopathology applications was studied. Specifically, timing studies have been done on an operational multiprocessor, the Heidelberg Polyp, running expert system-guided scene segmentation and image analysis software. A number of actual and potential system bottlenecks and methods of attack for removing them are discussed.
