GPU acceleration of the frequency domain acceleration search for binary pulsars

Graphics processing units (GPUs) have been used to accelerate computation in a broad range of fields; this work presents a GPU-accelerated search for pulsars. Pulsars are highly magnetised neutron stars with extremely stable rotational periods. These periods can be accurately measured, which makes t...
