[Insight-developers] pipeline level parallel operation

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Richard,

You made an interesting observation.

There is no build-in mechanism for running several filters in parallel.

Most of the ITK infrastructure is focused on facilitating one given
filter to use multiple-threads, but nothing is available for making
easy to run two (or more) downstream filters in parallel.

It would seems that a helper class of the type of the SliceBySlice
filer will come handy here....

Looks like a week-long project that would result in a very nice
paper for the Insight Journal    :-)


     Luis
