Hello,
I'm doing my first steps in the OpenMP world.
I have an image I want to apply a filter on.
Since the image is large I wanted to break it into non overlapping parts and apply the filter on each independently in parallel.
Namely, I'm creating 4 images I want to have different threads.
I'm using Intel IPP for the handling of the images and the function to apply on each sub image.
I described the code here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29319226/parallel-image-processing-in...
The problem is I tried both sections and parallel for and got only 20% improvement.
What am I doing wrong?
How can I tell each "Worker" that though data is taken from the same array, it is safe to read (Data won't change) and write (Each worker has exclusive approach to its part of the result image).
Thank You.
