Proteomics is defined as the large-scale characterization of protein sets expressed in a cell or tissue. Lately, proteomics has been broadly using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis for its analysis. It consists of migration and separation of molecules, placed in a gel, according to the strength of an electric field. In order to see these proteins, it is necessary to use some kind of reagent of revelation, which ends up resulting in a two-dimensional profile of spots. Afterwards, this gel is scanned and produces an image, and then this image may be analyzed. Usually, there is noise in this kind of image. Thinking on it, this work presents a technique using Fuzzy Logics to find spots.

In this paper, we present a parallelization of a filtering algorithm related to non-linear anisotropic diffusion, used to enhance the performance of an application in a parallel distributed system. The anisotropic diffusion is a well-established technique for image enhancement by means of diffusivity functions, which act as border attenuators. However, it requires a high computational cost when a large amount of data is used. The proposed implementation was parallelized considering both point-to-point and collective communications, adopting the MPI paradigm. Results from both approaches indicate that the proposed algorithm has reached interesting levels of performance (81% and 93% of efficiency, respectively) when compared to the execution of one process in a single computer node. In addition, our results indicate an enhancement of around 21% utilizing the collective communication strategy when compared to point-to-point communication.
