GPU Accelerated Reconstruction System The SCANCO GPU Accelerated Reconstruction System is an optional module for faster image reconstruction using Windows-based workstations. The SCANCO GPU Reconstruction software is fully integrated in the scanner workflow and works automatically without any user intervention. The system will speed up the calculation time up to 120 times* in comparison with the standard reconstruction software running on an OpenVMS single core. It additionally frees resources on the OpenVMS workstation leaving more computer power for analysis tasks. Images reconstructed with the SCANCO GPU Accelerated Reconstruction System are fully compatible with images reconstructed with the standard CPU based reconstruction software. The SCANCO GPU Accelerated Reconstruction software typically runs on an NVIDIA GPU Accelerator with Kepler architecture (Tesla K20c)**. NVIDIA GPU Accelerator with Kepler architecture (Tesla K20c) *on a Z420 workstation ** further options will be announced as available Graph showing the gain in speed between the standard CPU reconstruction operating on a one core CPU in comparison with the GPU reconstruction running on NVIDIA GPU Accelerator Tesla K20c. The reconstruction time changes linearly with the number of cores and is hence four times shorter for a four core OpenVMS workstation. The speed gain is shown for different sizes of the image matrix.
