... The main difference between PROGRAPE-1 and "traditional" GRAPE systems is that the former uses FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chips as the processing elements, while the latter rely on the hardwired pipeline processor specialized to gravitational interactions. ... To evaluate the programmability and performance of PROGRAPE-1, we implemented a pipeline for gravitational interaction similar to that of GRAPE-3. One pipeline fitted into a single FPGA chip, which operated at 16 MHz clock. ...

The radio-telescope. The radio-telescopes are the great sized constructions. The most spread type of the radio-telescope is a construction the basic element of which is a whole metallic mirror of a parabolic form. The mirror reflects the radiowaves falling on it, so they gather near the focus and are able to be caught by the special unit- irradiator. Then the signal is strengthened and changed into the form convenient for a registration and analysis. ... Back . ...
