Adaptive optics system generally consist of three core components: deformable mirrors, wavefront sensors and real time computers (RTC). In this talk we will focus on the RTC in particular on the one we are currently working on for METIS.[[BR]]What is the task of the RTC in the control loop and what can the RTC actually 'see'? What are the main data products and which computational steps does it have to do to produce them? What is a mode? How fast does the RTC have to be and what does 'Real Time' mean? How did we get the RTC to be fast enough and what are the main differences between a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU)?[[BR]][[BR]]We will address these and other questions in a graphic way.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: English[[BR]]Slides: English[[BR]]Questions: German, English || || 02.10.2023 || -- || -- || || 09.10.2023 || Institutional Review || || || 16.10.2023 || -- || -- || || 23.10.2023 || || || || 27.10.2023 || -- || '''--''' || || 06.11.2023 || || || || 13.11.2023 || -- || -- || || 20.11.2023 || || || || 27.11.2023 || -- || -- || || 04.12.2023 || || || || 11.12.2023 || -- || -- || || 18.12.2023 || || || || 25.12.2023 || Holiday || Christmas || '''Preview:''' DD.MM.2023 - Speaker: Title TBC - Manon Lallement: Photonic technology developments for the visible interferometer FIRST at the Subaru Telescope '''Postview:''' [wiki:OldPresentations2014S2 Presentations from 12.09. - 31.12.2014] [wiki:OldPresentations2015S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2015] [wiki:OldPresentations2015S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2015] [wiki:OldPresentations2016S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2016] [wiki:OldPresentations2016S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2016] [wiki:OldPresentations2017S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2017] [wiki:OldPresentations2017S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2017] [wiki:OldPresentations2018S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2018] [wiki:OldPresentations2018S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2018] [wiki:OldPresentations2019S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2019] [wiki:OldPresentations2019S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2019] [wiki:OldPresentations2020S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2020] [wiki:OldPresentations2020S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2020] [wiki:OldPresentations2021S1 Presentations 2021S1] [wiki:OldPresentations2022S1 Presentations 2022S1] [wiki:OldPresentations2022S2 Presentations 2022S2] [wiki:OldPresentations2023S1 Presentations 2023S1]
