COSMIC, an adaptable, powerful, proven RTC solution
COSMIC is an ESO compliant, GPU-based RTC platform, to be used as the Real-Time platform in MAVIS and MICADO. Developments have been done in ObsPM LESIA and ANU AITC. In collaboration with Microgate, COSMIC is at the core of several existing RTC, Keck (2021), the ESO-GHOST lab platform (2023). Other incarnations are under development. Leveraging GPUs, the COSMIC s/w stack has evolved in the past years, with implementation flexibility, performance, and reliability in mind (see talk by J.Bernard).
