Accelerating radio transient detection using the Bispectrum algorithm and GPGPU

Modern radio interferometers such as those in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project are powerful tools to discover completely new classes of astronomical phenomena. Amongst these phenomena are radio transients. Transients are bursts of electromagnetic radiation and is an exciting area of research...
