Performing cyclic redundancy checks using parallel computing architectures
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to compute cyclic redundancy checks use a graphics processing unit (GPU) to compute cyclic redundancy checks. For example, in at least one embodiment, an input data sequence is distributed among GPU threads for parallel calculation of an overall CRC value for the input data sequence according to various novel techniques described herein.

one or more processors; and
memory including instructions executable by the one or more processors that cause the system to at least:
allocate two or more portions of one or more transmitted data sequences and one or more cyclic redundancy sequences to two or more threads of a graphics processor; and
use the two or more threads of the graphics processor to perform error detection of the one or more transmitted data sequences at least partially in parallel with the one or more cyclic redundancy sequences to generate one or more cyclic redundancy check values for the one or more transmitted data sequences.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more transmitted data sequences comprise one or more transport blocks.
