Abstract
The modeling of the acoustic field is a common practice in the field of ultrasound. However, it is a task due to its complexity demands a high computing capacity and processing time, which limits their use in systems whichrequire real time. The use of graphics hardware (GPUs) can significantly speed up the calculations, due to the high degree of parallelism and performance involved inthis type of devices. This paper shows how the use of these technologies reduces the computation time in more than one order of magnitude over the CPU implementation.
