Description

The search for continuous and persistent gravitational waves emitted by isolated and rotating neutron stars is a top priority for current and future ground-based detectors. However, those searches are typically bounded in sensitivity by their high computational costs. In this work, we will show the optimization work done on the Frequency-Hough algorithm, which performs a blind search for unknown sources from any position in the sky. We will also show the status of the extensive testing of the computing infrastructures provided by ICSC.
