The main aim of this work is to show, how GPGPUs can facilitate certain type of image processing methods. The software used in this paper is used to detect special tissue part, the nuclei on (HE - hematoxilin eosin) stained colon tissue sample images. Since pathologists are working with large number of high resolution images - thus require significant storage space -, one feasible way to achieve reasonable processing time is the usage of GPGPUs. The CUDA software development kit was used to develop processing algorithms to NVIDIA type GPUs. Our work focuses on how to achieve better performance with coalesced global memory access when working with three-channel RGB tissue images, and how to use the on-die shared memory efficiently.
