Description
This presentation explores the design and implementation of a low-latency RF-to-ADC data pipeline integrated with a SmartNIC for next-generation radio telescope systems. By leveraging FPGA-based platforms such as RFSoC and SmartNICs, the solution minimizes data movement delays and enables real-time digitization, preprocessing, and transport of high-bandwidth RF signals. The talk highlights architectural optimizations for deterministic latency, efficient packetization, and seamless interfacing with backend compute systems—crucial for large-scale, time-sensitive radio astronomy arrays
