GPU-accelerated Image Reduction Pipeline.
2020
We developed a high-speed image reduction pipeline using Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) as hardware accelerators. Astronomers desire detecting EM counterpart of gravitational-wave sources as soon as possible for sharing positional information to organize systematic follow-up observations. Therefore, high-speed image processing is important. We developed a new image reduction pipeline for our robotic telescope system, which uses a GPU via a Python package CuPy to achieve high-speed image processing. As a result, the processing speed was increased by more than a factor of forty to that of the current pipeline, while maintaining the same functions.
