title: A parallel computing interface to facilitate development of physiologic signal processing algorithms.
abstract: We have created a system to aid in the development of algorithms related to the blood pressure waveform. The system performs all of the basic analyses of the waveform, and allows the user to utilize the results of those analyses for the algorithm under development. We have used a parallel programming architecture which keeps the different tasks, or processes, within the system independent of each other. Additionally, we have developed a graphics interface to enable the user to visualize the waveform, the system analysis, and the internal workings of the algorithm under development.
