摘要

We describe how spectral imaging, linear un-mixing and cluster computing have been combined to aid biomedicalresearchers and allow the spatial segmentation and quantitative analysis of immunohistochemically stained tissuesection images. A novel cost-effective spectral imager, with a bandwidth of 15 nm between 400 and 700 nm, allows usto record both spatial and spectral data from absorptive and fluorescent chemical probes. The linear un-mixing of thisdata separates the stain distributions revealing areas of co-localisation and extracts quantitative values of optical density.This has been achieved at the single-pixel level of an image by non-negative least squares fitting. This process can becomputationally expensive but great processing speed increases have been achieved through the use of clustercomputing. We describe how several personal computers, running Microsoft WindowsXP, can be used in parallel,linked by the MPI (Message Passing Interface) standard. We describe how the free MPICH libraries have beenincorporated into our spectral imaging application under the C language and how this has been extended to supportfeatures of MPI2 via the commercial WMPI II libraries. A cluster of 8 processors, in 4 dual-Athlon-2600+ computers,offered a speed up of a factor of 5 compared to a singleton. This includes the time required to transfer the datathroughout the cluster and reflects a processing efficiency of 0.62 (a Cluster Efficacy of 3.0). The cluster was based on a1000Base-T Ethernet network and appears to be scalable efficiently beyond 8 processors.
