Hello,
I have a good background implementing parallel algorithms with MPI for multiple nodes (and OpenMP for multiprocessor computers). If I understood correctly, what you need in this project is to load a TIFF image using a C program and distribute the image to multiple nodes using MPI (I assume separate computers) for further processing. Do you plan to section the image and send only parts of the image to a particular node or you want to send the entire image to all nodes ?
We can discuss the details if you are interested to work with me.
Thanks,
Paul
