Quad-Core Technology Speeds Up Machine Vision

The new generation of quad-core processors opens a new round of CPU architecture. They again drastically increase data throughput, provided that the software can make use of this luxury. Halcon 8.0, MVTec’s new version of the leading machine vision software library, is already able to automatically use quad-core parallelization for a dramatically increased performance. This new version has been especially optimized for an improved speed-up by the automatic parallelization of image data. With regard to performance, this automatic parallelization by far can keep up with manual multi-threading. Even experts cannot manually implement parallelization much faster, which makes the automatic parallelization a good choice for every case.
