"Performing cyclic redundancy checks using parallel computing architectures" was invented by Andrea Miele (San Jose, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to compute cyclic redundancy checks use a graphics processing unit (GPU) to compute cyclic redundancy checks. For example, in at least one embodiment, an input data sequence is distributed among GPU threads for parallel calculation of an overall CRC value for the input data sequence according to various novel techniques described herein."
