Abstract

Cloner is an image processing prototyping environment that helps users design new parallel image processing algorithms for a target machine by building on and modifying existing library algorithms. In this paper we show the Cloner user interface, discuss how guided access is accomplished, and provide an example of how Cloner supports the rapid development of high performance codes. The example demonstrates how menu options and queries are used to guide a user to select an appropriate 2-dimensional FFT algorithm based on image site and available machine resources
