Modification of common Fourier computer generated hologram's representation methods from sequential to parallel computing

The continuous improvement of GPUs for general purpose parallel computing has made it tempting to modify many physical computational techniques from sequential to parallel computation. By adding the capability of using CUDA-enabled GPU to MATLAB, a friendlier programming environment became available to physicists and researchers for implementing GPU parallel computing in their scientific calculations. This paper is dedicated to modify four methods of Fourier computer generated holography to utilize parallel computation of GPU. discussion of benefits, limitations and a speed-up comparison is presented.
