GPU-based acceleration of radio interferometry point source visibility simulations in the MeqTrees framework

Modern radio interferometer arrays are powerful tools for obtaining high resolution images of low frequency electromagnetic radiation signals in deep space. While single dish radio telescopes convert the electromagnetic radiation directly into an image of the sky (or sky intensity map), interferomet...
