Large degree-of-freedom real-time adaptive optics control requires reconstruction algorithms computationally efficient and readily parallelized for hardware implementation. Lysa Poyneer (2002) has shown that the wavefront reconstruction with the use of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and spatial filtering is computationally tractable and sufficiently accurate for its use in large Shack-Hartmann-based adaptive optics systems (up to 10,000 actuators). We show here that by use of Graphical Processing Units (GPUs), a specialized hardware capable of performing FFTs on big sequences almost 7 times faster than a high-end CPU, a problem of up to 50,000 actuators can be already done within a 6 ms limit. The method to adapt the FFT in an efficient way for the underlying architecture of GPUs is given.
