Abstract
Position sensitive highly segmented germanium detectors constitute the state-of-the-art of the technology employed for γ-spectroscopy studies. The operation of large spectrometers composed of tens to hundreds of such detectors demands enormous amounts of computing power for the digital treatment of the signals. The use of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) has been evaluated as a cost-effective solution to meet such requirements. Different implementations and the hardware constraints limiting the performance of the system are examined. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.File in questo prodotto:
