Cover Story: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry has rapidly become a widely used technique for measuring Earth’s ground deformations, with applications to a plethora of natural and anthropogenic processes. With the increased amount of data provided by modern satellite SAR platforms, large-scale processing has faced incredible challenges due to the associated computational burden. The application of high-performance computing (HPC) methodologies to interferometric SAR processing is, therefore, gaining increasing attention from the scientific community: several approaches have been recently developed by adopting different parallel strategies, computing architectures, and programming models. This study provides a critical perspective on the state of the art of HPC methodologies applied to interferometric SAR processing, also discussing some open issues and outlining future trends.
