Hi again,

 

I saw how ITK uses multiple processors at the single filter level and I
think it's quite impressive.

Now I'd like to know how to achieve other types of parallelization, namely
pipeline parallelization and task parallelization (as defined in
http://public.kitware.com/VTK/pdf/pvtk.pdf
<http://public.kitware.com/VTK/pdf/pvtk.pdf> ).

Does ITK include parallelization mechanisms similar to those found in
vtkParallel.lib?

Can I use the VTK mechanisms to parallelize the ITK pipeline (using
itkVTKImageExport et al.?)

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Ron
