MeerKAT
South Africa is building the Karoo Array Telescope (MeerKAT) which is a precursor instrument for the SKA, but will in its own right be amongst the largest and most powerful telescopes in the world. Artists impression of the MeerKAT array in the Karoo
MeerKAT engineers launch new ROACH board
South African engineers at the MeerKAT project office in Cape Town are taking the lead in the development of new generation astronomy tools such as the ROACH (reconfigurable open architecture computing hardware) boards in a collaboration with UC Berkeley, the NRAO and others. The ROACH board is a primary building block for digital signal processing systems in many next-generation radio telescopes. It is a cutting-edge innovation that enables highly specialised and high-performance computing.
