The Road to CABB via POCS and MOPS
Overview • Early Systems • Latest System • Future Systems • Bandwidth Growth Trend • Reasons for this Trend
Xfilt (1994) 16MHz 8 Bit Data 2 Polarizations 1 ASIC + 2 FPGAs DAS (1997) 64MHz 8 Bit Data 2 Polarizations 19 FPGAs + ASICs Early Systems
Early Systems Proof Of Concept Spectrometer (POCS) • Designed on a proprietary development board • Four major design revisions
POCS64 (January 2004) 64MHz, 128 Channels 8 Bit Data 1 Polarization 3 VirtexII FPGAs Not installed at Mopra POCS256 (April 2004) 256MHz, 1024 Channels 8 Bit Data 2 Polarizations Installed 3 VirtexII FPGAs Early Systems
POCS256 (April 2004) 256MHz, 1024 Channels 2 Bit Data 2 Polarizations 3 VirtexII FPGAs Installed POCS600 (August 2005) 600MHz, 1024 Channels 2 Bit Data 2 Polarizations 5 VirtexII FPGAs Installed Early Systems
Latest System • MOPS Z2X (October 2005) • 2200MHz, 2 Zoom Bands each of 137.5MHz and 4096 Channels • 2 Bit Data • 2 Polarizations • 5 VirtexIIPro FPGAs • Installed • 1 Terabit per second of data capable of being transferred between chips • Over 300 Billion 18 bit multiplications possible per second
Latest System User has the choice of two separations between the zoom modes

Latest System Results – On The Fly Mapping
Future Systems • MOPS (April 2006) • 8GHz Spectrometer • 4 MOPS Z2X Boards with all zoom modes available • CABB • 2GHz Correlator • 8 Bit Data • 32 revised MOPS boards
Reasons for the Trend • ASICs largely replaced by FPGAs • Major leap in technology • FPGAs are around 4 orders of magnitude larger than they were a decade ago • FPGAs have more dedicated resources • Major improvement in design tools • Simulation throughout development cycle • New debug techniques
