Treffer: Medical Image Viewing on Multicore Platforms Using Parallel Computing Patterns.

The article discusses parallel programming patterns applied to design new software architecture, restructure existing software, and port legacy applications to parallel platforms. Software patterns for parallel programming are said to provide not only proven solutions to repeated design problems in specific contexts, but also vocabularies for design, communication, and teaching. To organize a parallel program, one can follow three alternatives such as task decomposition and data flow.
