Hi All,

I had a discussion with Rich and Omar yesterday. I think they are interested in slightly more than what is being called a "pulsar backend", but more like the whole system to allow fast sampled observations in general: i.e. beam formers or fast-dump correlators and how they are interfacing with back-end processing, like the VLAs CBE or more traditional pulsar backends like CASPER-based GUPPI and their ilk.

I personally don't know much about what is happening with beamformers, for example, with MeerKAT. Is there any documentation on that?

hi rich,

i know a bit about the meerkat pulsar search.
(i'm not on the team, but we've been working with those guys...).
i don't know much about meerkat pulsar timing (the timing and search are different groups).

scott ransom knows a bit about SKA pulsar search design team at oxford.
i know a small bit, but not as much as scott.
i can introduce you to some of the oxford ska pulsar team if you want.

    Hi All,

    A few of us are starting to think about the pulsar backend for the
    ngVLA.  We were wondering if someone on this list might be able to
    point us to publicly available documentation on what is being done
    and being planned for MeerKat and SKA.  This would give us an
    excellent starting point.  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
