A large number of observations from the Parkes 64\,m-diameter radio telescope, recorded with high time resolution, are publicly available. We have re-processed all of the observations obtained during the first four years (from 1997 to 2001)…

We investigate the S/N of a new incoherent dedispersion algorithm optimized for FPGA-based architectures intended for deployment on ASKAP and other SKA precursors for fast transients surveys. Unlike conventional CPU- and GPU-optimized…
