NVIDIA uses GPU to accelerate black hole interferometry.
The story so far
NVIDIA has released a tutorial on using NVIDIA cuPhoton to accelerate black hole interferometry calculations. Black holes do not emit light, and telescopes capture the radio emission of the hot gas outside the event horizon. The strong gravity of the black hole bends the light path, forming a bright ring. The observed ring of M87* is only 42 microarcseconds.

Using NVIDIA cuPhoton, black hole interference measurements can be achieved, with the observation ring of M87* being only 42 microarcseconds. The black hole itself does not emit light; telescopes capture radio emissions from the hot gas outside the event horizon. The strong gravitational bending of light by the black hole forms a bright ring. NVIDIA cuPhoton accelerates related calculations through GPU.
