Abstract

The reconstruction of tracks left by particles in a scintillating fiber detector from a high energy experiment is discussed. The track reconstruction algorithm is based on the Hough transform and achieves an efficiency above 86%. The algorithm is implemented in a 16-node parallel machine using two parallelism approaches in order to speed up the application of the Hough transform, which is known to have large computational cost.
