AXISLib-GPU provides the industry standard
Vector, Signal and Image Processing Library
(VSIPL) for NVIDIA-based GPU platforms. The
VSIPL API model fits perfectly with GPGPU-
enabling DSP application developers to
quickly realize significant application
speed-ups without the need to learn GPU
programming techniques.
AXISLib-GPU supports the development
and speeds the deployment of high-
performance DSP and multiprocessing
applications on GE’s NVIDIA CUDA-enabled
GPGPU platforms such as the IPN250,
NPN240 and GRA111. Typical applications
include radar, sonar, image processing,
signals intelligence and intelligence, surveil-
lance, reconnaissance (ISR). It is a set of
signal and vector processing libraries
providing over 500 high-performance digital
signal processing and vector mathematical
functions optimized for NVIDIA’s many-core
GPUs and created to help developers maxi-
mize system and application performance.
The AXIS Multiprocessing software suite
facilitates the development of complex
applications over multiple clusters of GPU
platforms.
AXISFlow provides a communications API
for multi-threaded/multi-core/multipro-
cessor communications.
AXISView provides a set of GUI tools
enabling system visualization, application
instrumentation, debug and monitoring.
