Abstract

Existing observations of the universe mostly come from electromagnetic (EM) waves, representing so-called multi-wavelength astronomy. In order to enable multi-messenger astronomy, direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) has to be processed in nearly real time. In this work, we discuss algorithm and infrastructure challenges for GW burst (GWB) search to enable multi-messenger astronomy involving GWs. A real-time computing infrastructure for LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) GWB data analysis is presented, using advanced computing technologies.
