I defended a thesis in computer science in december 2001, at the (Louis Pasterur) University of Strabourg, entitled Parallelizing heuristics for combinatorial optimization: a study in the context of medical image registration, under the supervision of Professsors Guy-René Perrinf and Fabrice Heitz. In this work I have mainly studied the application of the data-parallel model to implement global optimization algorithms. Two algorithms were considered: differential evolution and form of Langevin's stochastic differential equation. Differential evolution has been applied to rigid image matching, whereas the second algorithm was focused on three dimensional deformable image matching. In both cases the considered images where MRI with a size of 1283 or 2563 voxels.
