abstract = {Remote sensing observations in the mid-infrared spectral
region (4–15 μm) play a key role in monitoring the
composition of the Earth’s atmosphere. Mid-infrared
spectral measurements from satellite, aircraft, balloons,
and ground-based instruments provide information on
pressure, temperature, trace gases, aerosols, and clouds. As
state-of-the-art instruments deliver a vast amount of data
on a global scale, their analysis may require advanced
methods and high-performance computing capacities for data
processing. A large amount of computing time is usually
spent on evaluating the radiative transfer equation.
Line-by-line calculations of infrared radiative transfer are
considered to be the most accurate, but they are also the
most time-consuming. Here, we discuss the emissivity growth
approximation (EGA), which can accelerate infrared radiative
transfer calculations by several orders of magnitude
compared with line-by-line calculations. As future satellite
missions will likely depend on exascale computing systems to
process their observational data in due time, we think that
the utilization of graphical processing units (GPUs) for the
radiative transfer calculations and satellite retrievals is
a logical next step in further accelerating and improving
the efficiency of data processing. Focusing on the EGA
method, we first discuss the implementation of infrared
radiative transfer calculations on GPU-based computing
systems in detail. Second, we discuss distinct features of
our implementation of the EGA method, in particular
regarding the memory needs, performance, and scalability, on
state-of-the-art GPU systems. As we found our implementation
to perform about an order of magnitude more energy-efficient
on GPU-accelerated architectures compared to CPU, we
conclude that our approach provides various future
opportunities for this high-throughput problem.},
