We are registering two images using the 'MultiResolutionImageRegistrationMethod’ in ITK v4.8 and are seeing a performance degradation on machines with large number of cores.</p>

We use the MultiResolutionImageRegistrationMethod with RegularStepGradientDescent optimizer and MeanSquares metric.</p>

Two separate issues are observed here:</p>

1. Performance degradation of image registration on machines with higher number of cores as compared to ones with lower number.</p>
<p style="margin: 16px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, FreeSans, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.0001px; widows: 1; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
A Dual-core machine showed better performance with the image registration than one with 20 cores. The performance degradation observed on a machine with 20 physical cores and also on one with 6 physical (12 logical cores).</p>

2. Performance degradation of image registration on subsequent runs on the same machine (with higher number of cores)</p>
<p style="margin: 16px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, FreeSans, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.0001px; widows: 1; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
The performance of registration continuously regresses on subsequent runs within an application session. This issue gets resolved on setting the number of cores to a lower number (setting to number of physical cores rather than logical cores)</p>
