- Matlab 2023 or higher
- Signal Processing Toolbox
- Deep Learning Toolbox
- Parallel Computing Toolbox
- Phased Array System Toolbox

- GPU with CUDA support for parallel processing
Two examples are provided with 'exampleSimple.m' and 'exampleMovingTarget.m'.
There are some accelerated functions that are implemented in C++/CUDA and compiled to a Mex file. Depending on your operating system these may need to be compiled from source. This relates to:
- patch_normals_double.c, can be compiled with
mex patchnormals_double.c - mollertrumbore.cu, can be compiled with
mexcuda mollertrumbore.cu
