Notes *:

the factor of 2 ((4096*4*2/.001)=32mb/sec) is because there are two 172 Mhz bands dumped .
The galfacts compression creates 2 output files: decimate in time by 100, and decimate in frequency by 32 chan. The bytes/smp increases from 2 to 4 bytes (floats).

Processing times for galfacts compression:

Input 120Mb/sec per box: 337*2=674 2gb files takes: 3hr,20min (this is a 6 hour run)
output: 674 * (43mb + 135.4mb = 178.4 mb/input file) in 3hr,20min= 9.97 mb/sec output

palfa duty cycle will vary depending on how many test pulsar they look at for each observing run. The more test pulsars, the more time spent slewing..65% was for a 3 hour run on 17apr09
