Modern radio telescopes are envisioned to consist of hundreds to the thousands of antennas in order to meet various science requirements and in-turn raise the computational needs. Here we discuss a novel radio imaging concept called EPIC, that is particularly efficient for compact large-N radio arrays. EPIC has been successfully deployed on a GPU and demonstrated real-time imaging at the Long...
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA, www.skao.int), currently under construction, will be the world’s largest radio observatory once completed. It will consist of one radio telescope operating in the 50-350 MHz frequency range (SKA-Low, Western Australia) and another one operating in the 350 MHz-15 GHz range (SKA-Mid, South Africa). I will describe the SKA's science drivers and give an update on...
RADIOBLOCKS is a 10 M€ Horizon Europe project that is developing building blocks for technological solutions to enable a broad range of new science and enhance European scientific competitiveness. RADIOBLOKS brings together the major European research infrastructures for radio astronomy and partners from industry and academia to develop the common blocks that European radio facilities will use...
