Application of Parallel Computing in Digital City

Digital cities are paid more and more attentions on for they are expected to make life, business, travel, city planning and so on more convenient and more effective. Existing digital cities are based on serial computing. However, the speed of the applications of digital city in serial computing is so slow that the applications can not run in real time or run in large scale. Since parallel computing is more powerful and faster than serial computing, parallel computing is used in our study to promote the scale and the speed of the applications of digital city. An experiment on recognizing objects in digital city based on parallel computing is given.
