The Algorithm name was CHIRP that is Continuous High-resolution Image Reconstruction using Patch priors .
This algorithm was used to combine data from the eight telescope which were in different continents and were working under Event Horizon Telescope .

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a large telescope array consisting of a global network of radio telescopes and combining data from several very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) stations around the Earth. The aim of the EHT project is to observe the immediate environment of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at the center of the Milky Way, as well as the even larger black hole in the center of the supergiant elliptical galaxy Messier 87, with angular resolution comparable to the black hole's event horizon.[1]

This blackhole contains mass as 6.5 billion suns.
