It is well known that aurorae have very high research value, but the data volume of aurora spectral data is very large, which brings great challenges to storage and transmission. To alleviate this problem, compression of aurora spectral data is indispensable. This paper presents a parallel Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) implementation of the prediction-based online Differential Pulse Code Modulation (DPCM) method for the lossless compression of the aurora spectral data. Two improvements are proposed to improve the compression performance of the online DPCM method. One is on the computing of the prediction coefficients, and the other is on the encoding of the residual. In the CUDA implementation, we proposed a decomposition method for the matrix multiplication to avoid redundant data accesses and calculations. In addition, the CUDA implementation is optimized with a multi-stream technique and multi-graphics processing unit (GPU) technique, respectively. Finally, the average compression time of an aurora spectral image reaches about 0.06 s, which is much less than the 15 s aurora spectral data acquisition time interval and can save a lot of time for transmission and other subsequent tasks.
