Message Passing Interface (MPI) provides an infrastructure that enables users to build a high performance distributed computing environment from networked computers with minimum effort. It provides a common Application Programming Interface (API) for the development of parallel applications regardless of the type of multiprocessor system used. This research implements a distributed computing system called Java Message Passing Interface Middleware which supports a Message Passing Interface Application Programming Interface (MPI API).

Character recognition plays an important role in the modern world. Character recognition is considered to be very important solution to many problems because of its numerous applications and theoretical values in the domain of pattern recognition. The only real problem is to design a system that can extract the right features efficiently.

Various compression methods have been proposed to achieve high compression ratios and high image qualities in low computation time.One of these methods is Fractal Image Compression. The basic idea of fractal image compression is the partitioning of input image into nonoverlapping range blocks. For every range block a similar but larger domain block is found. The set of coefficients of mapping the domain
