optical telescope GPU Computing parallel algorithms

Astronomy research excellence is coming back home to the Middle East, where it took its first steps around 1200 BC. Custome new software developed by the KAUST Extreme Computing Research Center (ECRC) was released at the end of 2017. Named MOAO - Multiple Object Adaptive Optics â the software will contribute to the activities of the world's largest future optical telescope to be deployed in Chile in 2024.
