We have a large hardware computer design coming in for autocorrelating 12 200MS/s streams; it will require the equivalent of an 800GHz P4; it's going to be done with Xilinx silicon, similar to the setup Dr. Ellingson is using with ETA here at PARI. > that much of the work comes from the military and the big contractors. > Getting more students involved is nothing short of a good thing.
