Development at the ASIAA CASA Development Center will be fully integrated and coordinated with the CASA team.

For the initial year, the ASIAA team will augment the effort of NRAO on the next generation CASA image viewer; CARTA (Cube Analysis and Rendering Tool for Astronomy). The exact list of features and tasks for the first year will be developed in conjunction with the NRAO staff and CARTA project scientist. The initial set of tasks will be defined no later than 1 October 2016.

During the second year, the ASIAA center will add a component of high performance computing (HPC) to the development targets. This work will be coordinated with the overall CASA HPC strategy and may include aspects of resource management (memory management and persistent storage bandwidth utilization) in addition to parallelization, and compute optimization
