Abstract

Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences and focused on acquiring and analyzing data. Everyday, size of the acquiring data from observation instruments such as ALMA (Atamaca Large Millimeter Array) is growing. This study is part of the project called XCLASS (extended CASA Line Analysis Software Suite) which getting data from ALMA. XCLASS is a program that helps to model astronomical data. In this study, compute-intensitive parts of the myXCLASS is tool of the XCLASS program is loaded to the GPU. With GPU programming, it is achieved faster results by uploading to the GPU. This project will be a good source for future data-rich ALMA studies.
