Installing the data processing system
The data processing system for the LOFAR Chilbolton station is being developed by Oxford University. When complete, it will be a large system with multiple server and control computers as well as a small cluster of GPU blades to do the heavy-duty number crunching. As part of the initial commissioning work, a small part of the final system is set up temporarily in the comms room at the Chilbolton Observatory, in order to test the system.
