Grant Description

The purpose of this project is to improve the efficiency of processing large volume lidar data products by developing a CUDA based parallel library that can be deployed within single or multi-GPU environments. The library is expected to process a single dataset with up to 6 GB and achieve an average speedup ratio of 20 compared to serial CPU processing.
