The GPU-Resident Astronomy Pipeline
A GPU-resident astronomy pipeline keeps every stage of image analysis — load, align, subtract, detect, review — inside GPU memory instead of round-tripping through the CPU.

NVIDIA
Faster Scientific Image Analysis with NVIDIA cuPhoton
NVIDIA cuPhoton is an open-source CUDA-X toolkit of GPU-accelerated building blocks for scientific image analysis, from sensor read through classification, covering spectral and optical astronomy and time-domain laser/X-ray analysis. High-throughput instruments like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory generate up to 20 TB of images per night, but CPU-bound pipelines create delays of hours to months. cuPhoton keeps data on the GPU end-to-end, collapsing nine months of data analytics to four hours on GPU-accelerated Python. The toolkit includes modules for FITS loading, image registration, PSF-matching and subtraction, dipole fitting, and candidate review. Benchmarks on multi-GPU systems show individual operation speedups of up to 14,900x for loading and 14,550x for processing.
