Radar is an object detection system. Airborne radar is meant to search, detect and track aerial objects. Clutter is an unwanted echo that interferes with the observation of signal on radar screen. This paper discusses the use of GPU and CUDA. Graphic Processor Unit or GPU computing is the use of GPU together with CPU to accelerate general purpose scientific and engineering applications. GPU consists of thousands of smaller, more efficient cores designed for parallel performance. Serial portions of code run on CPU and parallel portion of code run on GPU. GPU offers very impressive architecture for scientific computing on a single chip. CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is parallel computing platform and programming model created by NVIDIA and implemented by the GPU.
