3 space science questions that computing is helping to answer

Scientists have since charted these observations and scrambled to learn all they can about these elusive forces. They've detected dozens more gravitational-wave signals, and advances in computing are helping them to keep up. As a postdoc, Huerta searched for gravitational waves by tediously trying to match data collected by detectors to a catalogue of potential waveforms. He wanted to find a better way. Earlier this year Huerta, who is now a computational scientist at Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, created an AI ensemble that's capable of processing a month's worth of LIGO data in just seven minutes.
