CASPER Workshop 2017

天文信号处理和电子研究合作组织（CASPER）成立于11年前，旨在为射电天文学开发专门的计算方法。从那时起，它已经成为一个由全世界数百名科学家和工程师组成的社区，他们的方法在射电天文学中无处不在。这种数值密集型的方法需要高性能的计算硬件和专门设计的软件。该项目将支持一个会议，为学生提供培训和机会，与行业代表接触。资金将用于抵消学生的注册费、住宿费和旅费。本次研讨会将为学生提供专业的软件开发经验，并直接接触核心开发人员和经验丰富的研究人员。CASPER在全球拥有约600名科学家和工程师的用户社区，并得到当前ATI奖（ast - 14007804）的支持。CASPER支持上一个十年回顾中每一个排名最高的射电天文学计划。该项目将支持计划于2017年8月14日至18日在加州理工学院举行的CASPER会议。研讨会将包括上午的演讲、下午的辅导课和分组讨论。教程将涵盖为现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）和图形处理单元（gpu）开发软件，以支持射电天文学研究目标，如脉冲星搜索和定时、快速射电暴（frb）搜索、光谱仪、相关器和波束形成器。学生将有机会与软件开发人员和经验丰富的研究人员见面并互动。会议的演讲将在会议和CASPER网站上公开发布。

The Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER) was founded eleven years ago to develop specialized computational methods for radio astronomy. It has since become a community of hundreds of scientists and engineers worldwide and their methods have become ubiquitous throughout radio astronomy. Such numerically intensive methods require high-performance computing hardware and specially designed software. This project will support a conference that provides training and opportunities for students to make contacts with representatives from industry. Funds will offset costs of student registration, accommodation, and travel. This workshop will provide students with specialized software development experience and direct access to core developers and experienced researchers. CASPER has a user community of about 600 scientists and engineers worldwide, and it is supported by a current ATI award (AST-1407804). CASPER supports each of the top-ranked radio astronomy initiatives of the last decadal review. This project will support the CASPER Conference scheduled for 2017 August 14-18 at the California Institute of Technology. The workshop will include morning presentations and afternoon tutorials and breakout sessions. Tutorials will cover developing software for Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) in support of radio astronomy research goals such as pulsar search and timing, searches for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), spectrometers, correlators, and beamformers. Students will have the opportunity to meet and interact with software developers and experienced researchers. Presentations from the conference will be made publicly available on the conference and CASPER websites.
