We proposed a parallel acceleration scheme of cloud-derived wind inversion algorithm based on MPI cluster parallel technique in this paper. The divide-and-conquer idea, assigning winds vector inversion tasks to each computing unit, is identified according to a certain strategy. Each computing unit executes the assigned tasks in parallel, namely divide-and-rule the inversion task, so as to reduce the efficiency bottleneck of long inversion time caused by serial time accumulation. In the scheme of parallel acceleration based on MPI cluster, an algorithm based on performance prediction is proposed to effectively implement load balance of MPI clusters. Through the comparative analysis of experiment data using the parallel scheme of this parallel technology framework, it shows that this parallel technology has a certain acceleration effect on the cloud-derived wind inversion algorithm. The speedup of the MPI-based parallel algorithm reaches 14.96, which achieved the expected estimate. At the same time, this paper also proposes an efficiency optimization algorithm for cloud-derived wind inversion. In the case that the inversion of wind vector accuracy loss is minimal, the optimized algorithm execution time can be up to 13 times faster.}, DOI = {10.32604/cmc.2020.09860} }
