Abstract
The lifting scheme [14] is a method for construction of biorthogonal wavelets and fast computation of the corresponding wavelet transforms. This paper describes a message–passing parallel implementation in which high efficiency is achieved by a modified data–swapping approach allowing communications to overlap computations. The method illustrated by application to Haar and Daubechies (D4) wavelets. Timing and speed–up results for the Cray T3E and the Fujitsu AP3000 are presented.
