Real-Time Dedispersion for Fast Radio Transient Surveys, using Auto Tuning on Many-Core Accelerators
Dedispersion, the removal of deleterious smearing of impulsive signals by the interstellar matter, is one of the most intensive processing steps in any radio survey for pulsars and fast transients. We here present a study of the parallelization of this algorithm on many-core accelerators, including GPUs from AMD and NVIDIA, and the Intel Xeon Phi. We find that dedispersion is inherently memory-...
متن کاملPulsar searches and timing with the SKA
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a planned multi purpose radio telescope with a collecting area approaching 1 million square metres. One of the key science objectives of the SKA is to provide exquisite strongfield tests of gravitational physics by finding and timing pulsars in extreme binary systems such as a pulsar-black hole binary. To find out how three preliminary SKA configurations will...
متن کاملMILLISECOND PULSAR SEARCHES Results and Future Prospects
We discuss results of various surveys for millisecond radio pulsars, and make some comments on possible properties of the underlying population. Results of the Arecibo surveys indicate a density of millisecond pulsars (250 deg 2) ?1 above a threshold level of 1 mJy for long-period pulsars. Parkes results are consistent with Arecibo's after scaling to account for Parkes' baseline sensitivity of ...
متن کاملPulsar Searches of Unidentified EGRET Sources
The majority of Galactic high-energy γ-ray sources continue to elude identification. Currently, we have a handful of firm pulsar identifications, one of which is radio quiet, and a few marginal detections, including one millisecond pulsar. Recently, both blind searches of EGRET error boxes and targeted searches of X-ray counterpart candidates have had some success in finding new pulsars. I revi...
