Abstract

With the release of an eight core Xeon processor by Intel and a twelve core Opteron processor by AMD in the spring of 2010, the increase of multiple cores per chip package continues. Multiple core processors are common place in most workstations sold today and are an attractive option for increasing imaging performance. Visual attention models are very compute intensive, requiring many imaging algorithms to be run on images such as large difference of Gaussian filters, segmentation, and region finding. In this paper we present our experience in optimizing the performance of a visual attention model on standard multi-core Windows workstations.
