  Angular power spectra are an important measure of the angular clustering of a
given distribution. In Cosmology, they are applied to such vastly different
observations as galaxy surveys that cover a fraction of the sky and the Cosmic
Microwave Background that covers the entire sky, to obtain fundamental
parameters that determine the structure and evolution of the universe. The
calculation of an angular power spectrum, however, is complex and the
optimization of these calculations is a necessary consideration for current and
forthcoming observational surveys. In this work, we present preliminary results
of implementing angular power spectrum estimation scheme on a high-performance
reconfigurable computing platform.
