Project Goal

This project explores GPU-accelerated audio preprocessing and visualization using NVIDIA CUDA and NVIDIA DALI.

We aim to compare:

• CPU audio preprocessing
• Custom CUDA kernels
• NVIDIA DALI GPU pipelines

Week 1 Objective

• Set up GitHub repository
• Install and test NVIDIA DALI
• Validate GPU audio decoding pipeline

Project Structure

• dali_pipeline/ – DALI experiments
• cuda_kernels/ – custom CUDA kernels
• visualization/ – rendering
• benchmarks/ – performance comparisons
