An alternate to hawk eye using the graphics processing unit

Abstract

The more powerful and advanced our processing units become our hunger for more computation power increases. While we are pushing the Central Processing Unit (CPU) to its last limit in the hope to get more computational power, the Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) is sitting idle most of the times. The GPU is immensely powerful in terms computation power and as most modern day GPU’s have multi-core architecture; parallel computing can be performed easily. This paper will look into the prospect of improving Hawk Eye, a technology currently used as decision aid system in cricket and tennis in terms of accuracy. For the system NVDIA GPU has been used on CUDA platform.
