Abstract
Content

A parallel version of the MOPEX software, which generates mosaics of infrared astronomical images acquired by the Spitzer Space Telescope, extends the capabilities of the prior serial version. In the parallel version, both the input image space and the output mosaic space are divided among the available parallel processors. This is the only software that performs the point- source detection and the rejection of spurious imaging effects of cosmic rays required by Spitzer scientists.
