The scope of the matrix application is so broad that it can not be limited. A typical matrix application area in computer science is image processing. Particularly, radar scanning equipment implemented on a small embedded system requires real-time matrix transposition for image processing, and since its memory size is small, a general matrix transposition algorithm can not be applied. In this case, matrix transposition must be done in disk space, such as flash disk, using a limited memory buffer. In this paper, we analyze and improve a recently published flash disk-based matrix transposition algorithm named as asymmetric sub-matrix transposition algorithm. The performance analysis shows that the asymmetric sub-matrix transposition algorithm has lower performance than the conventional sub-matrix transposition algorithm, but the improved asymmetric sub-matrix transposition algorithm is superior to the sub-matrix transposition algorithm in 13 of the 16 experimental data.
