The multiple signal classification algorithm (MUSICAL) is a statistical super-resolution technique for wide-field fluorescence microscopy. Although MUSICAL has several advantages, such as its high resolution, its low computational performance has limited its exploitation. This paper aims to analyze the performance and scalability of MUSICAL for improving its low computational performance. We first optimize MUSICAL for performance analysis by using the latest high-performance computing libraries and parallel programming techniques. Thereafter, we provide insights into MUSICAL’s performance bottlenecks. Based on the insights, we develop a new parallel MUSICAL in C++ using Intel Threading Building Blocks and the Intel Math Kernel Library. Our experimental results show that our new parallel MUSICAL achieves a speed-up of up to 30.36x on a commodity machine with 32 cores with an efficiency of 94.88%. The experimental results also show that our new parallel MUSICAL outperforms the previous versions of MUSICAL in Matlab, Java, and Python by 30.43x, 2.63x, and 1.69x, respectively, on commodity machines.
