Time Frame: T+5 weeks from receipt of code with w=32 support
Goals: Demonstrate the GPU code can be linked into full imaging (PSF, PB creation, gridding, deconvolution). First approximation of expected performance gains vs CPU based imaging
Caveats: Initially the GPU gridder will only support NTerms = 1, and natural weighting, separation of PSF and PB creation is not possible with tclean so the htclean() distributed imaging task will be used.

Goals: Demonstrate CASA implementation (pre-release of 6.34) of full VLASS imaging, requires separation of per Taylor Term, PSF and PB imaging. Produced images could double as verification for SRDP. Validation would require a released pipeline which natively calls the GPU gridder.
Caveats: None, nterms > 1and briggs weighting implemented
Data sets: Presumably reproduction of the 100sq dg imaging or some subset targeting high/low dec fields where AWProject is expected to be necessary.
