Supervisor:
Dr Mark ReedOutline:
Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) have parallelism that can be used in a number of applications. This can provide speed increases of between 5 and 20 times. There is a large opportunity to use this technology for the purpose of wireless communication systems. This project explores the utilisation of this parallism for wireless communication applications.
Goals of this project
The Aim of the project is to develop GPU software for a communication system and run it on a GPU platform. The student will study carefully the system problem and how this can efficiently map to the GPU architecture. This can be done via any tools or techniques the student wishes to use. The outcomes should demonstrate the benefits of using a GPU over a CPU.
Requirements/Prerequisites
Understanding of GPU concepts and architectures as well as a background in wireless communications could be helpful.
Student Gain
The student will benefit by enhancing their knowledge in a technology rich area significantly improving their understanding of this exciting area.
