With the huge satellite data actually stored, remote sensing multitemporal study is nowadays one of the most challenging fields of computer science. The multicore hardware support and Multithreading can play an important role in speeding up algorithm computations. In the present paper, a software package (called Multitemporal Software Package for Satellite Remote sensing data (MSPSRS)) has been developed for the multitemporal treatment of satellite remote sensing images in a standard format. Due to portability intend, the interface was developed using the QT application framework and the core was developed integrating C++ classes. MSP.SRS can run under different operating systems (i.e., Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Embedded Linux, Windows CE, etc.). Final benchmark results, using multiple remote sensing biophysical indices, show a gain up to 6X on a quad core i7 personal computer.
