Abstract. Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) is an effective and non-invasive visualization technique, which is used in many industrial applications. Unfortunately, image reconstruction in 3D ECT is a complex computational task requiring operations on large size matrices. In this paper, a new approach to 3D ECT image reconstruction is proposed. A new heterogeneous, multi-GPU, multi-node distributed system has been developed, with a framework for parallel computing and a special plugin dedicated to ECT. The LBP and the Landweber reconstruction algorithms have been implemented in this system. Problems of data distribution and transmission between the computing nodes are discussed in the paper.
