Audio and the Graphics Processing Unit

چکیده
In recent years, the development of programmable graphics pipelines has placed the power of parallel computation in the hands of consumers. Systems developers are now paying attention to the general purpose computational ability of these graphics processor units, or GPUs, and are using them in novel ways. This paper examines using pixel shaders for executing audio algorithms. We compare GPU performance to CPU performance, discuss problems encountered, and suggest new directions for supporting the needs of the audio community.

Parallel Implementation of Particle Swarm Optimization Variants Using Graphics Processing Unit Platform
There are different variants of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm such as Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) and Particle Swarm Optimization with an Aging Leader and Challengers (ALC-PSO). These algorithms improve the performance of PSO in terms of finding the best solution and accelerating the convergence speed. However, these algorithms are computationally intensive. The go...
متن کاملImplementation of the direction of arrival estimation algorithms by means of GPU-parallel processing in the Kuda environment (Research Article)
Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of audio signals is critical in different areas, including electronic war, sonar, etc. The beamforming methods like Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR), Delay-and-Sum (DAS), and subspace-based Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) are the most known DOA estimation techniques. The mentioned methods have high computational complexity. Hence using...
متن کاملUltra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...
متن کاملA Review of Spatial Sound for Virtual Environments and Games with Graphics Processing Units
The generation of spatial audio and audio processing in general using traditional software-based methods and techniques is computationally prohibitive thereby limiting the number of, and type of auditory effects that can be incorporated into applications. In contrast to consumer-grade audio cards, the graphics processing units (GPUs) of video cards have moved away from the traditional fixed-fun...
متن کاملImprovement and parallelization of Snort network intrusion detection mechanism using graphics processing unit
Nowadays, Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are widely used to provide full security on computer networks. IDS are categorized into two primary types, including signature-based systems and anomaly-based systems. The former is more commonly used than the latter due to its lower error rate. The core of a signature-based IDS is the pattern matching. This process is inherently a computatio...
