Abstract(in English) The objective of our research project is to develop a faster nonrigid registration method for the lung. In this paper, we present performance evaluation results, aiming at making clear what kinds of acceleration techniques and computing environments provide faster alignments. In our evaluation, we employed two acceleration techniques : a numerical optimization technique for B-splines interpolation and a data-parallel processing technique for gradient and similarity calculations. We also used three clusters of PCs with different CPU and network performance. The experimental results indicate that a cluster with Gigabit Ethernet interconnection is the most cost effective environment with achieving a linear speedup and reducing the execution time from approximately ten hours to ten minutes.
