Abstract :
In this paper manual parallelization is compared with parallelization using the Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP) software framework on an embedded eight core Digital Signal Processor (DSP) developed by Texas Instruments. In order to compare these two methods an in-house developed 2D image registration algorithm is parallelized. Furthermore considerations regarding the parallelization on this DSP are presented. Finally both parallelization methods in respect of performance and real time behavior are measured and analyzed.
