In this paper, computation and communication performance is evaluated for single and multitransputer arrays. Performance models are proposed for Occam program execution, under Transputer development System TDS2. The performance features of normalised arithmetic, concurrent floating and integer arithmetic, logarithmic array indexing, and on-chip/off-chip RAM are studied. The startup time, byte transfer rate, asymptotic link bandwidth, and half performance message length are estimated for simultaneous operation of one, two, three, and four links at clock in unidirectional/bidirectional modes. The impact of various performance maximisation techniques on execution time is also addressed.
The matrix factorisation algorithms for dense linear systems are chosen as the focus for this study. The implementations include LUD, Householder, Gauss-Jordan, Choleski, and Givens methods. Floating point operations count alone is inadequate to estimate computation time; many other factors such as array indexing, load/store overhead, and loop overhead play a significant role in the transouter performance for the dense linear systems. The reduction in array indexing overheads in multitransputer arrays may result in superlinear speedups.

We present new local-memory multiprocessor algorithms for solving sparse triangular systems of equations that arise in the context of Cholesky factorization. Unlike in the existing algorithms, we use the notion of the elimination tree and achieve significant improvement in the performance of both the forward and backward substitution phases. Our algorithms also incorporate the generalization of an important technique of Li and Coleman that gave rise to the best performance for dense triangular system solution.

Poor-quality images mostly result in spurious or missing features, which further degrade the overall performance of fingerprint recognition systems. This paper proposes a reconfigurable scheme of quality checks at two different levels: i) at raw image level and ii) at feature level. At first level, ellipse properties are calculated through analysis of statistical attributes of the captured raw image. At second level, the singularity points (core & delta) are identified and extracted (if any). These information, as quality measures, are used in a cascaded manner to block/pass the image. This model is tested on both publicly available (Cross Match Verifier 300 sensor) as well as proprietary (Lumidigm Venus V100 OEM Module sensor) fingerprint databases scanned at 500 dpi. The experimental results show that this cascaded arrangement of quality barricades could correctly block poor quality images and hence elevated the overall system accuracy: with quality checks, both FNMR and FMR significantly dropped to 9.52% & 0.26% respectively for Cross Match Dataset and 2.17% & 2.16% respectively for Lumidigm Dataset.
