Description

I will show the current state of pipeline development for Very-Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) with the LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) and how the LOFAR VLBI pipeline has enabled the LOFAR astronomy community to do sub-arcsecond imaging of radio sources ranging from postage stamps to wide-field.

I will demonstrate how new approaches to scientific workflows allow for efficient and distributed processing of data, using heterogeneous high-performance compute clusters.

Finally, I will illustrate what the future challenges for the VLBI pipeline are, what initial work towards addressing these challenges has already been done, and what can be expected in the near future of radio imaging with the upcoming upgrade of LOFAR2.0.
