Whereas the legacy correlator utilizes a polyphase filterbank for the F-engine, the MWAX correlator employs the FFT, following the rationale presented in Appendix C.  For the X-engine, development time/cost has been minimized by utilizing the existing open-source GPU correlator library “xGPU” (the same library at the heart of the legacy correlator).  The standard xGPU library is used essentially unchanged for MWAX, with the exception of a small but crucial change to improve speed and reduce bus/memory traffic, found to be essential to making the design scalable to 256T and beyond.  This modification is described in Appendix C.
