Abstract

Snore sound (SnS) data has been demonstrated to carry very important information for diagnosis and evaluation of sleep related breathing disorders with high prevalence, such as Primary Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) - a serious chronic sleep disorder with a big community. With the increasing number of collected SnS data from subjects, how to handle such large amount of data is a big challenge, and a huge opportunity for further study on optimally combining signal processing techniques with machine learning algorithms. In this study, we utilize the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to process a large amount of SnS data collected from hospitals in Germany (37 subjects, 38.34 hours, 15.10 GB). Experimental results prove that, our GPU-based platform significantly speeds up the audio processing for features extraction of SnS data, compared with the traditional Central Processing Unit (CPU) system.
