Title: | SKA CSP controls: technological challenges | Authors: | BAFFA, Carlo GIANI, Elisabetta Vrcic, S. VELA NUNEZ, MARINA |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Volume: | Software and Cyberinfrastructure for Astronomy IV | Editors: | Chiozzi, Gianluca; Guzman, Juan C. | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 9913 | First Page: | 99132Z | Abstract: | The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) project is an international effort to build the world's largest radio telescope, with eventually over a square kilometer of collecting area. For SKA Phase 1, Australia will host the low-frequency instrument with more than 500 stations, each containing around 250 individual antennas, whilst South Africa will host an array of close to 200 dishes. The scale of the SKA represents a huge leap forward in both engineering and research and development towards building and delivering a unique instrument, with the detailed design and preparation now well under way. As one of the largest scientific endeavors in history, the SKA will brings together close to 100 organizations from 20 countries. Every aspect of the design and development of such a large and complex instrument requires state-of-the-art technology and innovative approach. This poster (or paper) addresses some aspects of the SKA monitor and control system, and in particular describes the development and test results of the CSP Local Monitoring and Control prototype. At the SKA workshop held in April 2015, the SKA monitor and control community has chosen TANGO Control System as a framework, for the implementation of the SKA monitor and control. This decision will have a large impact on Monitor an Control development of SKA. As work is on the way to incorporate TANGO Control System in SKA is in progress, we started to development a prototype for the SKA Central Signal Processor to mitigate the associated risks. In particular we now have developed a uniform class schema proposal for the sub-Element systems of the SKA-CSP. | Conference Name: | Software and Cyberinfrastructure for Astronomy IV | Conference Place: | Edinburgh, UK | Conference Date: | 26 June-1 July, 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24866 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9913/1/SKA-CSP-controls-technological-challenges/10.1117/12.2233325.short?SSO=1 | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510602069 | DOI: | 10.1117/12.2233325 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016SPIE.9913E..2ZB | Fulltext: | open |
