Abstract

We present the design, implementation and results of a full end-to-end simulation of the Gemini MCAO system, GeMS, using the AO simulation package DASP coupled with the AO RTC software package DARC. The multi-threaded and tuned performance of DASP can give close to real-time AO simulation of a GeMS system for rapid investigation of different combinations of AO control techniques and different atmospheric conditions. We demonstrate a full simulation of the current GeMS reconstruction technique and study the effect of applying different reconstruction algorithms for the purpose of prototyping potential control strategies for a generic future MCAO system.
