Memory-efficient w-projection with the fast Gauss transform

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2015-06-12 v1

Abstract

We describe a method performing w-projection using the fast Gauss transform of Strain (1991). We derive the theoretical performance, and simulate the actual performance for a range of w for a canonical array. While our implementation is dominated by overheads, we argue that this approach could for the basis of a higher-performing algorithms with particular application to the Square Kilometer Array.
