IIC Seminar: High Performance Computing as Linchpin in Next-generation Radio Telescopes

High Performance Computing as Linchpin in Next-generation Radio Telescopes
IIC Colloquium Series
April 15, 2009
Dr. Lincoln Greenhill

Abstract
———-
Frontier astronomy facilities in the next decade will pose serious and data-intensive science challenges. In a new paradigm for radio astronomy, high-performance computing will be front and center as a critical element of the interferometric arrays that will make tomographic maps [click on link for more...]

Richard Edgar's talk at NCSA, April 2009

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a radio telescope currently under construction in Australia. It is an interferometer, consisting of over 500 antenna tiles spread over an area of about a square kilometer. The signals from these tiles are synthesized into images by the Real Time System (RTS).

In this talk, Richard Edgar describes why [click on link for more...]
