The Single-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (SCAO) subsystem for METIS, a first light instrument for the upcoming Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) telescope, generates more than 20TB of data every night. To be able to parse all of this data, accelerated computing is crucial. [[BR]][[BR]]This talk will give an overview and delve a bit deeper into accelerated computing using GPUs, and how it will be used to operate the adaptive optics (AO) system for METIS at the ELT. This talk will focus on explaining GPU-accelerated coding while giving real examples of how it is being used in our AO prototype.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: English[[BR]]Slides: English[[BR]]Questions: German, English || |

At the same time as the telescope is being built, the first generation of instruments is also being built. The MPIA is involved in 2 instruments, METIS and MICADO. For METIS, the MPIA has taken on two large work packages: the wavefront sensor and the imager. The design and construction of the cryostat, which is the subject here, are work packages of ETH Zurich. However, the MPIA was heavily involved in the initial concept and design. In the meantime, the first parts of the cryostat have arrived in Zurich and integration has begun.[[BR]]This talk is intended to explain what a cryostat is and how this special cryostat for METIS is constructed. Colleagues who are not involved in instrumentation or science are also invited to attend.[[BR]][[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German[[BR]]Slides: English[[BR]]Questions: German, English || |
