Using GPUs to Speed up a Tomographic Reconstructor Based on Machine Learning

The next generation of adaptive optics (AO) systems require tomographic techniques in order to correct for atmospheric turbulence along lines of sight separated from the guide stars. Multi-object adaptive optics (MOAO) is one such technique. Here we present an improved version of CARMEN, a tomographic reconstructor based on machine learning, using a dedicated neural network framework as Torch. We can observe a significant improvement on the training an execution times of the neural network, thanks to the use of the GPU.
