ArrayFire for Medical Image Segmentation

ArrayFireAnnouncements, Case Studies, Events Leave a Comment

In case you missed it, we recently held a webinar on how to accelerate common medical imaging applications using an easy, powerful programming library with Jacket for MATLAB®. This webinar was part of an ongoing series of webinars that will help you learn more about the many applications of Jacket and ArrayFire, while interacting with AccelerEyes GPU computing experts.  Gallagher Pryor, CTO of AccelerEyes, used the Bayesian Image Segmentation algorithm as a simple use-case to show how easy it is to convert CPU code to GPU code with Jacket (only 4 lines of CPU code needed to be changed!). For those of you who missed it, we uploaded the webinar on Youtube. We hope to see you at the next one!
