The High Time Resolution Universe survey for radio pulsars andtransients is the largest such survey yet undertaken with the Parkesradio telescope. We use the 13-beam multibeam receiver centred at 1352MHz, connected to BPSR, our new all-digital backend. This systemprovides us with 340 MHz of usable band split into 870 channels, eachsampled with two bits every 64 {$μ$}s. The factor of eight improvement infrequency resolution over previous Parkes multibeam surveys allows us toprobe further into the galactic plane for short duration signals, suchas those from fast transients and millisecond pulsars. The survey issplit into low, mid and high Galactic latitude regions, each coveredwith integration times of 4300, 540 and 270 s respectively. To date wehave almost completed the mid latitude survey, discovering 65 previouslyunknown pulsars, including 15 millisecond pulsars. Upon completion weexpect to discover some 400 pulsars, of which 75 will be millisecondpulsars.
