SDP Realtime Receive Integration
This project is an integration point for each part of the SDP realtime receive pipeline, intended to allow for high level tests and easy performance analysis of the system as a whole without the complexity of an orchestration environment such as Kubernetes.
Context
At a high level the CBF Emulator (CBF-SDP Emulator), pretending to be the Central Signal Processor / Correlator Beam Former, sends SPEAD2 heaps over the network to Receiver (Realtime-Receive-Modules), which then unpacks them to the Plasma Memory Store, which is then read by one or more Processors (SDP Receive Processors) to do some work (e.g. write visibilities to a measurement set).
There are many potential bottlenecks in this process, and running the entire pipeline together should make it easier to identify which are the most important.
