Accelerating Single-Particle Reconstruction Algorithms On Graphics Processing Units

At the SURF symposium on January 26 I presented a poster discussing a parallel implementation of the particle alignment algorithm for the GPU architecture. This implementation gives a 100x speedup over the similar sequential particle alignment algorithm currently implemented in the SPIDER cryo-EM image processing software package.

A PDF of the poster I presented which outlines the specifics of the algorithm and its performance is listed below.
