This paper analyzes parallel ICA algorithm in symmetrical multi-processing(SMP) cluster architecture.Based on our proposed single-level share memory model parallel ICA algorithm
two-level synchronous and asynchronous parallel ICA algorithms are presented
respectively
in the manner of synchronous and asynchronous parallel iteration for computing fixed-point function.By the use of these algorithms
two-level grouping parallel ICA algorithm is also proposed.In experiment with real hyperspectral remote sensing image
synchronous and grouping parallel ICA algorithms maintenance the endmember extraction accuracy with respect to the original algorithm.Meanwhile
they also demonstrate high parallel performance and greatly improve the performance of ICA endmember extraction.Asynchronous parallel ICA algorithm is suitable for the case of small number of nodes in cluster.
