    Description

    We examine the acceleration of a robotic arm calibration algorithm using a general purpose GPU (GPGPU). The algorithm utilized requires a radial basis function neural network for calibration and takes approximately 9 days to run on a standard desktop computer. The most time consuming component of this algorithm is a matrix inversion operation. This is carried out on an NVIDIA GPGPU using the Cholesky Factorization. On an NVIDIA Tesla S1070 GPGPU, this same algorithm ran about 300 times faster than a standard desktop computer running an optimized version of the code.
