用于甚长基线干涉测量的SFXC软件关联函数:算法与实现
The SFXC software correlator for Very Long Baseline Interferometry: Algorithms and Implementation
摘要:
本文介绍了欧洲VLBI联合研究所(JIVE)研制和维护的SFXC软件关联函数。该软件被设计为在基于Linux的通用计算集群上运行。的相关算法进行了详细的解释,因为是一些新的模式,软件相关,使,如通过使用多个相位中心和脉冲星门控和分仓宽场VLBI成像。接下来是软件架构的概述。最后,示出了关联函数作为CPU核数、望远镜和光谱通道的函数的性能。
英文摘要:
In this paper a description is given of the SFXC software correlator, developed and maintained at the Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe (JIVE). The software is designed to run on generic Linux-based computing clusters. The correlation algorithm is explained in detail, as are some of the novel modes that software correlation has enabled, such as wide-field VLBI imaging through the use of multiple phase centres and pulsar gating and binning. This is followed by an overview of the software architecture. Finally, the performance of the correlator as a function of number of CPU cores, telescopes and spectral channels is shown.
