摘要：This paper presents the PVA-BDA project (Processing, Visualization and Analysis in Parallel Environment of the BDA Data) that has been developed for processing of solar images that will be captured by the BDA (Brazilian Decimetric Array), a radio telescope under development at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE). In a joint effort between the Department of Computer Science at Federal University of São Carlos (DC/UFSCar), the Astrophysics Division (DAS) and Associated Laboratory for Computing and Applied Mathematics (LAC) at INPE, a high performance parallel system is being developed with capacity to support realistic applications, involving a reasonable amount of parallel processing, in order to carry out the processing, visualization and analysis of solar images captured by BDA, in real time. The aim is to create the conditions for starting a study of the solar weather forecast. The forecast of solar explosions are important as they may cause serious perturbations in terrestrial communication systems. An application for 3D reconstruction of X-ray tomographic images of the solar atmosphere was developed at DC/UFSCar. Due to the need for the 3D reconstruction of solar magnetic structures, in real-time, this application was implemented to execute in a parallel machine using DSPs.
