The research on complex Brain Networks plays a vital role in understanding the connectivity patterns of the human brain and disease-related alterations. Recent studies have suggested a noninvasive way to model and analyze human brain networks by using multi-modal imaging and graph theoretical approaches. Both the construction and analysis of the Brain Networks require tremendous computation. As a result, most current studies of the Brain Networks are focused on a coarse scale based on Brain Regions. Networks on this scale usually consist around 100 nodes. The more accurate and meticulous voxel-base Brain Networks, on the other hand, may consist 20K to 100K nodes. In response to the difficulties of analyzing large-scale networks, we propose an acceleration framework for voxel-base Brain Network Analysis based on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Our GPU implementations of Brain Network construction and modularity achieve 24x and 80x speedup respectively, compared with single-core CPU. Our work makes the processing time affordable to analyze multiple large-scale Brain Networks.
