The telescope project generates more data than the Internet

For scientists, to be able to handle all the raw information of the world, they need to study the creation of new computer technologies. The good news is that the US giant 'IBM' is helping them do this.

>>>The most "terrible" telescope begins to operate

IBM is partnering with the ASTRON Astronomical Institute (Netherlands) to develop a new generation of computer technology to handle a huge data warehouse that provides Square Kilometer Array (SKA), a kind of radio telescope. It is possible to transmit data in 3,000 km wide space, equivalent to the width of the US territory.

The giant telescope project, called DOME , is capable of receiving and handling about 1 Exabyte (1 billion Gigabite), twice the amount of data that the World Wide Web creates every day. But to implement this project without spending a lot of energy, IBM needs to develop some completely new data processing equipment before embarking on SKA production in 2017. IBM is currently considering a new solution. is stacking computer chips and using optical technology to connect them, their field of expertise.

Expected when completed, IBM technology has the potential to completely change the IT industry and solve all data problems that the world is facing today. Maybe in the future, social networks and search engines will operate with IBM's new technology to process data of both Internet systems serving users.
