Signal-level radar modeling faces significant computational bottlenecks due to massive datasets and intensive operations including pulse compression, moving target indication (MTI), moving target detection (MTD), and constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processing. Traditional CPU-based implementations exhibit poor real-time performance, while single-GPU solutions suffer from memory bandwidth limitations and resource contention. This paper presents a novel multi-GPU parallel acceleration framework that leverages heterogeneous CPU-GPU architecture to overcome these scalability challenges. The proposed method employs an odd-even frame allocation strategy to distribute radar echo data across two GPUs, enabling simultaneous processing of independent frames. Optimized parallel computing architectures are developed for core signal processing modules, utilizing CUDA framework optimizations and Direct Memory Access (DMA) technology for efficient data transfer. Experimental results on a CPU with dual GPUs demonstrate significant performance improvements: pulse compression achieves 102.88× acceleration, MTI reaches 164× speedup, and CFAR obtains 153.8× acceleration compared to CPU-only implementations. The overall system achieves 109.6× acceleration while maintaining signal processing accuracy, enabling real-time radar simulation capabilities for next-generation radar system development.
