摘要:

数字相关器是射电望远镜阵列最关键的数据处理组件之一。随着射电干涉阵列规模的扩大,射电天文学领域致力于开发低成本且可扩展的相关器。本文部署了一个包含六块CASPER ROACH2板和七台GPU服务器的192输入数字相关器,作为位于红柳峡天文台的Tianlai柱面路径finder的数字信号处理系统。该相关器包含192路输入信号(96双极化)、125-MHz带宽和全Stokes输出。相关器继承了CASPER系统的优势,如低成本、高性能、模块化可扩展性和异构计算架构。借助可快速部署的ROACH2数字采样系统、可商业扩展的10千兆交换网络系统和可灵活升级的GPU计算系统,该相关器形成了一个低成本且易于升级的系统,有望支持未来可扩展的大规模干涉阵列。

英文摘要:

The digital correlator is one of the most crucial data processing components of a radio telescope array. With the scale of radio interferometeric array growing, many efforts have been devoted to developing a cost-effective and scalable correlator in the field of radio astronomy. In this paper, a 192-input digital correlator with six CASPER ROACH2 boards and seven GPU servers has been deployed as the digital signal processing system for Tianlai cylinder pathfinder located in Hongliuxia observatory. The correlator consists of 192 input signals (96 dual-polarization), 125-MHz bandwidth, and full-Stokes output. The correlator inherits the advantages of the CASPER system, for example, low cost, high performance, modular scalability, and a heterogeneous computing architecture. With a rapidly deployable ROACH2 digital sampling system, a commercially expandable 10 Gigabit switching network system, and a flexible upgradable GPU computing system, the correlator forms a low-cost and easily-upgradable system, poised to support scalable large-scale interferometeric array in the future.
