Hardware Acceleration of Computational Holography

This book explains the hardware implementation of computational holography and hardware acceleration techniques, along with a number ofconcrete example source codes that enable fast computation. Computational holography includes computer-based holographictechnologies such as computer-generated hologram and digital holography, for which acceleration of wave-optics computation is highly desirable.This book describes hardware implementations on CPUs (Central Processing Units), GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and FPGAs (Field ProgrammableGate Arrays).

This book is intended for readers involved in holography as well as anyone interested in hardware acceleration.
