Shanghai Correlator Firmware Development at Jive
| Submitter: | Jonathan Hargreaves |
| Description: | Recently four engineers (Renjie Zhu, Shaoguang Guo, Jiangying Gan and Zhijun Xu) visited Jive from Shanghai Astronomical Observatory. They are working on a two- to six-station correlator using the UniBoard hardware. The design is nearly complete but there were some problems with packet loss at the interfaces. After a week and a half of intense debugging, we observed data flowing smoothly through the 1Gb and 10Gb Ethernet interfaces. Testing will continue in Shanghai after the Spring Festival, assisted no doubt by a healthy stock of Stroopwafels! We hope that there will be continued collaboration between SHAO and Astron/Jive, for example on firmware for future beamformers and correlators. In spite of the rather wet winter, it was an enjoyable visit, and included trips to the WSRT and Lofar (thanks to Gijs Schoonderbeek and Willem Baan). |
