The radio sky is blanketed by charged particles in the interstellar medium that smear impulsive emissions. By constructing a new digital electronic device for the giant Parkes radio telescope we will be able to divide the radio sky up into many thousands of radio "channels", which when searched on a supercomputer, will enable us to peer into the heart of our Galaxy in search of short bursts of emission. This will be the first large-scale search of the Universe for short bursts of radio emission. The project will pioneer real-time processing of data on a remote supercomputer via a dedicated fibre link.

无线电天空被星际介质中的带电粒子所覆盖，这些带电粒子涂抹着脉冲发射。通过为巨大的帕克斯射电望远镜建造一个新的数字电子设备，我们将能够将无线电天空划分为数千个无线电“频道”，当在超级计算机上搜索时，我们将能够窥视银河系的心脏，寻找短时间的发射。这将是第一次对宇宙进行大规模的无线电发射短脉冲搜索。该项目将率先通过专用光纤链路在远程超级计算机上实时处理数据。
