This paper reports work carried out within the BIOLAB consortium of the CEC Advanced Informatics in Medicine (AIM) programme. The overall purpose of the work is to assess the potential for commercially available parallel computer systems to enhance practical applications of medical image analysis. Here, we report methods developed for using the Active Memory Technology (AMT) DAP as a "compute server" to a network of workstations. We report three technical developments.
