SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING BIOMETRIC OPERATIONS IN PARALLEL

摘要

Methods and computer systems execute biometric operations in parallel. The performance of a biometric operation includes receiving a job request to perform the biometric operation. The job request includes input data, identifies a database to be used in the performance of the biometric operation, and specifies a function to be performed. The biometric operation is restructured as one or more tasks. A number of entries in the database is assigned to each of the one or more tasks. An independent worker process is generated for each different core of the multi-core processor. Each task of the one or more tasks is assigned to one of the worker processes. Results produced by each worker process assigned one of the one or more tasks are collected. A result of the biometric operation based on the collected results is reported.

1. A method of performing a biometric operation, the method comprising:
receiving a job request to perform a biometric operation, the job request including input data, identifying a database to be used in the performance of the biometric operation, and specifying a function to be performed; restructuring the biometric operation as one or more tasks; assigning a number of entries in the database to each of the one or more tasks; generating an independent worker process for each different core of the multi-core processor; assigning each task of the one or more tasks to one of the worker processes; collecting results produced by each worker process assigned one of the one or more tasks; and reporting a result of the biometric operation based on the collected results.
