Date: May 17 – 20, 2021 Location: Virtual through Zoom

The CASPER workshop is a annual workshop where FPGA, GPU, and general heterogeneous system programmers get together to discuss new instruments in radio astronomy, as well as the tools and libraries for developing and manipulating these instruments.

The workshop runs for four days, the 17th – 20th of May, and consists of presentations and break out discussion groups. We normally have hands-on, lab-based tutorials at the casper workshop, but because it’s hard to do this virtually, we are not offering labs this year. However we will have demonstrations on how to use the casper tools and demos of some tutorials.

Further details of the conference can be found on this website, and information on CASPER generally here. Presentations from previous workshops typical of the topics represented can be found at: CASPER 2019, 2017, 2014.

There is no registration fee this year, but please fill out this form to let us know you will be attending, and to submit an abstract:
