Rapid execution is required in operation-oriented applications in underwater acoustic modelling. In this paper, the GPU graphic pipeline is used to accelerate the calculation of high-resolution sound field image in the normal mode model of underwater acoustic propagation. The computer times of the proposed graphic pipeline method, the MATLAB code, and the C# code are compared for a stratified shallow water waveguide using the KRAKEN model at different frequencies. The research validates that the graphic pipeline method outperforms the classic CPU-based methods in terms of execution speed at the frequencies where the eigenvalue equation in normal mode models can be solved.
