MWA中用于数据处理的GPU

GPUs for data processing in the MWA

S. Ord, L. Greenhill, R. Wayth, D. Mitchell, K. Dale, H. Pfister, R. G. Edgar

摘要:

MWA是下一代无线电干涉仪,正在偏远的西澳大利亚州建造。来自相关器的数据速率使得存储原始数据不可行,因此必须实时处理数据。处理任务的数量级约为10 TFLOPS。MWA的远程位置限制了可以分配给计算的功率。我们描述的MWA实时数据处理系统,利用现代图形处理单元(GPU)的计算能力的元素的设计和实现。GPU的矩阵代数和纹理映射功能非常适合实时校准和成像中涉及的大多数任务。与传统的基于CPU的参考实现相比,获得了相当大的性能优势。

英文摘要:

The MWA is a next-generation radio interferometer under construction in remote Western Australia. The data rate from the correlator makes storing the raw data infeasible, so the data must be processed in real-time. The processing task is of order ~10 TFLOPS. The remote location of the MWA limits the power that can be allocated to computing. We describe the design and implementation of elements of the MWA real-time data processing system which leverage the computing abilities of modern graphics processing units (GPUs). The matrix algebra and texture mapping capabilities of GPUs are well suited to the majority of tasks involved in real-time calibration and imaging. Considerable performance advantages over a conventional CPU-based reference implementation are obtained.
