Scientific computing at AstroCeNT

The talk will present the scientific activities of AstroCeNT and its Scientific Computing & Information Technology Group. AstroCeNT’s mission is to explore the hidden Universe. This mission is implemented by the development of tools needed for gravitational waves and dark matter detection. The AstroCeNT’s activities will be shown from the scientific computation perspective. During the talk it will be discussed why non-standard methods of computation might be needed to perform scientific computation in the future. We will discuss various aspects of neural networks – including their quantum, neuromorphic and traditional variants. We will show how we use the neural networks for our research purposes and how we train them. We will also show how we deal with complexity and variety of neural network models.
