Scientific paper

We describe the software development effort for the first-light correlator of the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA{http://www.mmarray.org/}), the merger of the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO{http://www.ovro.caltech.edu/}) and Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association (BIMA{http://bima.astro.umd.edu/}) millimeter arrays that is expected to reach first-light in 2005. The digital hardware relies on programmable logic devices (FPGAs), signal processors (DSPs), and Linux-based host computers acting in concert to produce baseline visibility data. We summarize the hardware configuration, the distribution of computational tasks among components, and the tools and techniques used to program these devices.
