The Square Kilometre Array (SKA)
Next Genera8on radio telescope – compared to best current instruments it offers
…100 8mes more sensi8vity, ~ 106 8mes faster imaging 100,000’s of antenna’s
Many science projects relate to gravity World wide science – cf. CERN Cambridge University leads compu8ng

Antennas Central Signal Processing (CSP)
Transfer antennas to CSP 2020: 20,000 PBytes/day 2028: 200,000 PBytes/day Over 10’s to 1000’s kms
Imaging (SDP) HPC problem
2020: 100 PB/day, 300PF 2028: 10,000 PB/day, 30 EF EB archive 10’s to 1000’s kms
Data Processing Pipeline

World wide science
AnalyHcs Scheduling Data replicaHon
Revolu8onary sensor data processing
Data
Massive volumes of input deliver to processors cannot keep it
Some data is not precious! Exa-‐byte archive output data World wide disseminaHon and scheduling of data analyHcs through cloud
So\ware
Telescope age ~50 years SoTware must adapt to 1. new hardware 2. new algorithms
Approach: advanced programming – data flow, automaHc opHmizaHon, domain specific languages
