【 摘 要 】

Detecting single-pulse astronomical transients, such as pulsars or fast radio bursts, requires collecting and processing enormous amounts of data. AMBER is a software processing pipeline that makes it possible to detect these single-pulse phenomena in real-time. The software achieves this by offloading compute-intensive kernels to many-core accelerators. Additionally, AMBER automatically tunes these kernels to achieve high performance on a variety of different platforms. We therefore see AMBER as an important tool in the search for new and interesting astronomical transients.
