Abstract: |
We report on a software infrastructure and pipeline developed to process
large radio interferometer datasets. The pipeline is implemented using a
radical redesign of the AIPS processing model. An infrastructure we have
named AIPSlite is used to spawn, at runtime, minimal AIPS environments
across a cluster. The pipeline then distributes and processes its
data in parallel. The system is entirely free of the traditional AIPS
distribution and is self configuring at runtime. This software has so
far been used to process a
EVLA Stripe 82 transient survey, the data for
the JVLA-COSMOS project, and has been used to process most of the EVLA
L-Band data archive imaging each integration to search for short
duration transients. |
