Radio interferometers indirectly measure sky brightness distribution through modified Fourier transform. The implementation of radio interferometric measurement operator presented in this paper allows for high accuracy, dynamic parameter selection for optimal performance, and has a small memory footprint.
Radio interferometers do not measure the sky brightness distribution directly, but measure a modified Fourier transform of it. Imaging algorithms therefore need a computational representation of the linear measurement operator and its adjoint, regardless of the specific chosen imaging algorithm. In this paper, we present a C++ implementation of the radio interferometric measurement operator for wide-field measurements that is based on so-called improved w-stacking. It can provide high accuracy (down to approximate to 10(-12)), is based on a new gridding kernel that allows smaller kernel support for given accuracy, dynamically chooses kernel, kernel support, and oversampling factor for maximum performance, uses piece-wise polynomial approximation for cheap evaluations of the gridding kernel, treats the visibilities in cache-friendly order, uses explicit vectorisation if available, and comes with a parallelisation scheme that scales well also in the adjoint direction (which is a problem for many previous implementations). The implementation has a small memory footprint in the sense that temporary internal data structures are much smaller than the respective input and output data, allowing in-memory processing of data sets that needed to be read from disk or distributed across several compute nodes before.
