Low Cost, Rapid Development Instrumentation for Radio Telescopes

AST-0619596/Werthimer，USRAA可扩展的，可扩展的，基于FPGA的计算平台和软件设计方法将被开发，可用于实现各种各样的射电天文学应用。该项目依赖于少量的模块化、可连接、可扩展的硬件组件和独立于平台的软件库，这些软件库可以随着硬件功能的扩展而重复使用和扩展。这项工作产生的仪器技术将广泛提供给射电天文学界。

AST-0619596/Werthimer, USRAA scalable, upgradable, FPGA-based computing platform and software design methodology will be developed that can be used to implement a wide variety of radio astronomy applications. The project relies on a small number of modular, connectible, upgradable, hardware components and platform-idependent software libraries that can be reused and scaled as hardware capabilities expand. The instrumentation technology that results from this work will be widely available to the radio astronomy community.
