Clarify? What he said could hardly be misinterpreted other than insanely stupid and dangerous. I guess what you mean he later backtracked (which is good), but given his inherent narcism would never admit to an error and just starts a rhetoric that he has been taken out of context.

I'm confused. Are you objecting to the term "repeater" here and blaming the reporter? Repeater is the term used for FRBs which, wait for it..., repeat.

This sounds like you are trying to call out someone for being dumb but knowing nothing about what you are talking about.

Maybe I have missed your point.

GPUs have small memory footprints. SKA will be processing HUGE images and data sets. And the image creation cannot be broken up into discrete independent chunks. So the I/O between GPUs is a real problem. Obviously CPUs have the same problem as the on chip memory is (relatively) tiny, but they are designed to pull on the much larger system memory which should be adequate.

Image analysis may well be a different kettle of fish.

Submission + - Dual site agreed for Square Kilometre Array telescope (skatelescope.org)

The skatelecope webserver seems to have crashed, but this is covered on other news sites such as http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-05-25/australia-sa-to-share-super-telescope/4034524
