A number of hardware upgrades for the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) are currently under development. These upgrades are collectively referred to as the LOFAR 2.0 upgrade. The first stage of LOFAR 2.0 will introduce a distributed clock signal…
Mobile networks evolve on a regular basis to meet the requirements of a rapidly changing application ecosystem; hence, a future-proof design is key to getting the most out of their lifecycle. In comparison to other access networks, one…
Modern radio astronomy relies on very large amounts of data that need to be transferred between various parts of astronomical instruments, over distances that are often in the range of tens or hundreds of kilometres. The Square Kilometre…
Radio astronomy observatories with high throughput back end instruments require real-time data processing. While computing hardware continues to advance rapidly, development of real-time processing pipelines remains difficult and…
We describe the InfraRed Data Reduction (IRDR) software package, a small ANSI C library of fast image processing routines for automated pipeline reduction of infrared (dithered) observations. We developed the software to satisfy certain…
mlpack is an open-source C++ machine learning library with an emphasis on speed and flexibility. Since its original inception in 2007, it has grown to be a large project implementing a wide variety of machine learning algorithms, from…
MLPACK is a state-of-the-art, scalable, multi-platform C++ machine learning library released in late 2011 offering both a simple, consistent API accessible to novice users and high performance and flexibility to expert users by leveraging…
We present DLKoopman -- a software package for Koopman theory that uses deep learning to learn an encoding of a nonlinear dynamical system into a linear space, while simultaneously learning the linear dynamics. While several previous…
Scientific datasets are known for their challenging storage demands and the associated processing pipelines that transform their information. Some of those processing tasks include filtering, cleansing, aggregation, normalization, and data…
The previous generation of astronomical instruments tended to consist of single receivers in the focal point of one or more physical reflectors. Because of this, most astronomical data sets were small enough that the raw data could easily…
We present PlanetPack, a new software tool that we developed to facilitate and standardize the advanced analysis of radial velocity (RV) data for the goal of exoplanets detection, characterization, and basic dynamical $N$-body simulations.…
Emerging Internet-of-Things sensing applications rely on ultra low-power (ULP) microcontroller units (MCUs) that wirelessly transmit data to the cloud. Typical MCUs nowadays consist of generic blocks, except for the protocol-specific radios…
For over 15 years, the mlpack machine learning library has served as a "swiss army knife" for C++-based machine learning. Its efficient implementations of common and cutting-edge machine learning algorithms have been used in a wide variety…
PySE is a Python software package for finding and measuring sources in radio telescope images. The software was designed to detect sources in the LOFAR telescope images, but can be used with images from other radio telescopes as well. We…
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a multi-epochal robotic survey of the northern sky that acquires data for the scientific study of transient and variable astrophysical phenomena. The camera and telescope provide for wide-field imaging…
Linking information across sources is fundamental to a variety of analyses in social science, business, and government. While large language models (LLMs) offer enormous promise for improving record linkage in noisy datasets, in many…
Synthesizer is a fast, flexible, modular, and extensible Python package that empowers astronomers to turn theoretical galaxy models into realistic synthetic observations - including spectra, photometry, images, and spectral cubes - with a…
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a commonly used protocol for data transmission in small embedded systems. UDP as such is unreliable and packet losses can occur. The achievable data rates can suffer if optimal packet sizes are not used. The…
The new generation of high-resolution broad-band radio telescopes, like the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), produces, depending on the level of compression, between 1 to 10 TB of data per hour after correlation. Such a large amount of…
