Functions

__device__ void calc_uvw(double *d_X_diff, double *d_Y_diff, double *d_Z_diff, double sdec0, double cdec0, double sha0, double cha0, int iBaseline, int num_baselines, int num_times, int num_freqs, user_precision_t *u, user_precision_t *v, user_precision_t *w)

Use the given baseline lengths in local X,Y,Z coords, and a given phase centre, calculate u,v,w coordinates.

Performs Equation 4.1 from TMS https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-44431-4. This __device__ function is called by kern_calc_uvw, which calculates u,v,w for multiple time steps. Using the index iBaseline, num_baselines, num_times, num_freqs, this function does a modulus to index d_X_diff, d_Y_diff, d_Z_diff correctly, as the diff arrays do not change with frequency (but change with time).

Parameters:

  • d_X_diff – [in] Baseline length in the X direction (metres)

  • d_Y_diff – [in] Baseline length in the Y direction (metres)

  • d_Z_diff – [in] Baseline length in the Z direction (metres)

  • sdec0 – [in] Sine of the declination of the phase centre

  • cdec0 – [in] Cosine of the declination of the phase centre

  • sha0 – [in] Sine of the hour angle of the phase centre

  • cha0 – [in] Cosine of the hour angle of the phase centre

  • iBaseline – [in] Index passed from kern_calc_uvw

  • num_baselines – [in] Number of baselines for a single time step

  • num_times – [in] Number of time steps

  • num_freqs – [in] Number of frequency steps

  • u – [inout] Output u coord (metres)

  • v – [inout] Output v coord (metres)

  • w – [inout] Output w coord (metres)

__global__ void kern_calc_uvw(double *d_X_diff, double *d_Y_diff, double *d_Z_diff, user_precision_t *d_u_metres, user_precision_t *d_v_metres, user_precision_t *d_w_metres, user_precision_t *d_u, user_precision_t *d_v, user_precision_t *d_w, user_precision_t *d_wavelengths, double sdec0, double cdec0, double *d_cha0s, double *d_sha0s, int num_cross, int num_baselines, int num_times, int num_freqs)

Calculate the \(u,v,w\) in metres and in wavelengths for multiple time steps and frequencies.

d_X_diff, d_Y_diff, d_Z_diff contain baseline lengths in local X,Y,Z coords, which can change with time (when precessed back to J2000), so should be of length num_baselines*num_times. To keep indexing simple, the wavelengths in d_wavelengths and hour angles in d_cha0s, d_sha0s should contain values for all baselines, all frequencies, and all time steps. .

When called with dim3 grid, threads, kernel should be called with grid.x set, where:

  • grid.x * threads.x >= num_visis

Parameters:

  • d_X_diff – [in] Baseline lengths in the X direction (metres)

  • d_Y_diff – [in] Baseline lengths in the Y direction (metres)

  • d_Z_diff – [in] Baseline lengths in the Z direction (metres)

  • d_u_metres – [inout] Output u coords (metres)

  • d_v_metres – [inout] Output v coords (metres)

  • d_w_metres – [inout] Output w coords (metres)

  • d_u – [inout] Output u coord (wavelengths)

  • d_v – [inout] Output v coord (wavelengths)

  • d_w – [inout] Output w coord (wavelengths)

  • d_wavelengths – [in] Wavelengths for all baselines, frequencies, and time steps (metres)

  • sdec0 – [in] Sine of the declination of the phase centre

  • cdec0 – [in] Cosine of the declination of the phase centre

  • d_cha0s – [in] Cosine of the hour angle of the phase centre for all baselines, frequencies, and time steps

  • d_sha0s – [in] Sine of the hour angle of the phase centre for all baselines, frequencies, and time steps

  • num_cross – [in] Total number of u,v,w coords to be calculated (number of cross correlations)

__global__ void kern_calc_uv_shapelet(double *d_X_diff, double *d_Y_diff, double *d_Z_diff, user_precision_t *d_u_shapes, user_precision_t *d_v_shapes, double *d_lsts, double *d_ras, double *d_decs, const int num_baselines, const int num_times, const int num_shapes)

The SHAPELET visibility envelope calculation uses a u,v coordinate system where the phase centre is set to the RA/Dec of that particular SHAPELET COMPONENT. This kernel calculates multiple \(u,v\) coodinates with varying phase centres to be used later by source_components.kern_calc_visi_shapelets.

The output arrays d_u_shapes, d_v_shapes, contain coordinates for all baselines (fastest changing), all times, and all SHAPELET components (slowest changing), in units of metres.

When called with dim3 grid, threads, kernel should be called with both grid.x and grid.y set, where:

  • grid.x * threads.x >= num_baselines*num_times

  • grid.y * threads.y >= num_shapes

Parameters:

  • d_X_diff – [in] Baseline lengths in the X direction (metres)

  • d_Y_diff – [in] Baseline lengths in the Y direction (metres)

  • d_v_shapes – [inout] Output v coords with various phase centres for SHAPELET components (metres)

  • d_lsts – [in] The local sidereal times of all time steps in simulation (radians)

  • d_ras – [in] Array of SHAPELET Right Ascensions (radians)

  • d_decs – [in] Array of SHAPELET Declinations (radians)

  • num_baselines – [in] Number of baselines for a single time step

  • num_times – [in] Number of time steps

  • num_shapes – [in] Number of SHAPELET COMPONENTs
