> Diderot: A Parallel Domain-Specific Language for Image Analysis
> 
> Diderot is a domain-specific language (DSL) for programming advanced
> 3D image visualization and analysis algorithms. These algorithms, such as volume rendering, fiber tractography, and particle systems, are naturally defined in terms of a continuous tensor field that is reconstructed from the
> discrete image data. There are two main goals for the Diderot project:
> 
> 1) support a mathematical programming model that will enable rapid
> prototyping andexploration of the algorithmic design space.
> 
> 2) enable high-performance implementations by exploiting the inherent
> parallelism in image analysis across a range of parallel platforms.
> 
> This talk will give an overview of the Diderot project and describe some
> of the research problems that we must solve to attain our goals.
> 
> Diderot is joint work with Gordon Kindlmann.
