DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. KARASTERGIOU\, Aris ()\nI will present a project
  that uses GPU technology with the next-generation LOFAR radio telescope\,
  to search for bright millisecond bursts of radio emission from astrophysi
 cal sources. GPUs provide the computing power necessary to remove in real 
 time the effects of propagation of the radio emission through the ionised 
 interstellar medium. I will present details of the specific problem\, our 
 current approach for optimisation of the relevant GPU code\, and why GPUs 
 are currently the most appropriate solution compared to other multicore te
 chnologies. Finally\, I will describe how our current work fits in the con
 text of the Square Kilometer Array and its pathfinders for the science of 
 astrophysical radio transients.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDispl
