IBM is teaming up with The Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, otherwise known as “Astron,” on a five-year project to look into very fast, low-power exascale computer systems for the world’s largest and most sensitive radio telescope. The project, to be called “DOME,” will cost about $44 million. It will investigate emerging technologies for large-scale and efficient exascale computing, data transport and storage processes, as well as streaming analytics that will be required to read, store and analyze all the raw data that will be collected daily by the Square Kilometre Array.
