Descripción
Sumario:In this work an efficient parallel implementation of the Chirp Scaling Algorithm for Synthetic Aperture Radar processing is presented. The architecture selected for the implementation is the general purpose graphic processing unit, as it is well suited for scientific applications and real-time implementation of algorithms. The analysis of a first implementation led to several improvements which resulted in an important speed-up. Details of the issues found are explained, and the performance improvement of their correction explicitly shown.
