Awesome GPU!

I used a GPU for the first time in a while. The previous case was quite old, but it was about the development of an inspection device using X-rays. In that project, we were in discussions with a company that could "harden" the specified algorithm because we were using a new (higher resolution than before) X-ray camera that was being developed simultaneously, which increased the resolution and processing speed significantly. There were several questions regarding the algorithm the customer wanted to implement. One of them was whether it was acceptable for the neighboring pixels referenced to remain the same despite the increased resolution. Additionally, there was a risk that if we "hard-coded" the algorithm, it would be difficult to make changes later on. Therefore, to meet the required speed, we switched to a proposal to operate multiple GPU-equipped PCs in parallel, which would increase the cost per unit. We successfully achieved the desired speed, but the customer expressed a desire to modify the algorithm. Subsequently, the processing unit of that device was able to achieve processing equivalent to the prototype using GPUs with a single PC equipped with a dedicated board using FPGA, and we successfully cleared the mass production price. There was something I found "amazing" after using it again, which I will share later. *News is distributed through our company's newsletter.
