Heimdall's ring-buffer and file modes stayed within 3% on arrival time and dispersion measure, and within 10% on signal-to-noise.
Summary
Heimdall's ring-buffer and file modes stayed within 3% on arrival time and dispersion measure, and within 10% on signal-to-noise.
Tests on Northern Cross telescope data compared PSRDADA memory buffers with SIGPROC files. Real-time execution kept pace for most runs containing true fast radio bursts, while the authors frame the work as preparatory for beamformer integration rather than a finished observatory pipeline.
Why it matters
Heimdall's ring-buffer and file modes stayed within 3% on arrival time and dispersion measure, and within 10% on signal-to-noise.
Limits and context
No additional limitation was separately recorded.
Key claims
Heimdall's ring-buffer and file modes stayed within 3% on arrival time and dispersion measure, and within 10% on signal-to-noise.
