SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING DATA ANALYSIS

摘要

There is provided an adaptive semi-synchronous parallel processing system and method, which may be adapted to various data analysis applications such as flow cytometry systems. By identifying the relationship and memory dependencies between tasks that are necessary to complete an analysis, it is possible to significantly reduce the analysis processing time by selectively executing tasks after careful assignment of tasks to one or more processor queues, where the queue assignment is based on an optimal execution strategy. Further strategies are disclosed to address optimal processing once a task undergoes computation by a computational element in a multiprocessor system. Also disclosed is a technique to perform fluorescence compensation to correct spectral overlap between different detectors in a flow cytometry system due to emission characteristics of various fluorescent dyes.
