Workshop_2012 - david-macmahon/wiki_convert_test GitHub Wiki

The 2012 annual meeting of CASPER will cover a wide range of topics related to FPGA and GPU based instrumentation for astronomy. In addition to talks and presentations on the latest designs, developments and instrumentation from the worldwide CASPER community, the program will also include invited special talks from industry participants, as well as talks relating to the SKA requirements. Hands-on sessions and tutorials on CASPER designs (both FPGA and GPU based) will be conducted to help newcomers to CASPER learn about the basic techniques. These will be supplemented with real-time test runs of simple designs at the Green Bank Telescope. Special tutorial and demo sessions will also be organized with an emphasis on real-time streaming data processing with FPGAs and GPUs.
